The former US president was suspended from both platforms following the Capitol riot in 2021.

Donald Trump will finally be allowed back on Facebook and Instagram after two years in the wilderness – but are you happy to see his return?

Tech giant Meta will lift the suspension in the coming weeks, saying the public ‘should be able to hear what their politicians are saying’.

The then-US president was suspended from both platforms following the Capitol riot in 2021.

Drastic action was taken following Mr Trump’s ‘praise for people engaged in violence at the Capitol’, said Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs.

“The suspension was an extraordinary decision taken in extraordinary circumstances,” he added.

A subsequent review found that Mr Trump’s accounts no longer posed a serious risk to public safety.
