The timing of Trump's suspension means he will not be able to use his accounts ahead of the November 2022 national midterm elections
Facebook Inc on Friday suspended former U.S. President Donald Trump from its platform until at least January 2023 and announced changes to how it will treat rule-breaking world leaders in the future. Facebook's independent oversight board in May upheld the social media giant's block on Mr. Trump, which was enforced in the wake of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, because the company said his posts were inciting violence. However, the board ruled it was wrong to make the ban indefinite and gave it six months to determine a "proportionate response."
