New York: World’s most popular social media app, Facebook has suspended the account of former US President Donald Trump for two years. The Facebook account of Donald Trump has been suspended since January. His account was suspended after he shared a post supporting the Capitol rioters.
“Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr Trump’s suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols. We are suspending his accounts for two years, effective from the date of the initial suspension on January 7 this year,” said Nick Clegg, Vice President, Global Affairs, Facebook.
