Meta has lifted all restrictions on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, days after Trump criticized Mark Zuckerberg online.

Meta announced the decision on July 12, ahead of Trump’s campaign for the GOP nomination. “We believe the American people should be able to hear from the presidential nominees,” Meta stated.

Trump was banned from these platforms in 2021 after the Capitol insurrection but was reinstated last year with conditions. The full restoration follows Trump’s attack on Zuckerberg on Truth Social.

Meta emphasized that Trump and Biden will be held to the same standards as other users. It remains to be seen if Trump will become more active on these platforms or continue focusing on Truth Social.
