Important read. Trump's reach benefited from the algorithmic acceleration and the built-in audience his social accounts gave him. If Facebook returns access to his account, he gets that megaphone back.

And adding labels to his misinformation won't help -- Facebook labeled at least 506 Trump posts between January 1, 2020, and January 6, 2021, and those posts averaged twice as many interactions. mediamatters.org/facebook/faceb…
If I understand Facebook's stated reasoning, they kicked him off for inciting violent unrest and in two years they will reassess... whether he's learned his lesson and won't do it again?

What Facebook has actually done is created an escape hatch -- if Republicans take back Congress and have committee gavels in January, the company can offer up Trump's reinstated account as a peace offering/tribute.
