But they need us more than we need them. \u201d Trump launched his bid to regain the presidency in 2024 in November. Meta, the world\u2019s biggest social media company, is set to make a controversial decision on the future of Trump\u2019s accounts this month.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump has shunned Twitter since its decision in November to restore his account, saying he preferred his own Truth Social platform, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that being back on Facebook \u201cwill be an important tool for the 2024 campaign to reach voters\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Meta revoked Trump\u2019s access to Facebook and Instagram after removing two of his posts during the 6 January 2021 US Capitol riot, including a video containing false claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s independent oversight board ruled later in 2021 that the suspension was justified but objected to its indeterminate nature. In response, Meta committed to reviewing the suspension two years after it began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded,\u201d Meta VP of Global Affairs Nick Clegg wrote at the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
