Since then, Trump has been posting\u00a0a mix of his own commentary and sharing content from supportive accounts\u00a0on Truth Social, a social media platform he helped create.<\/p>\n<p>But a quick scan of his Truth Social account shows he often dabbles in the kind of content that got him in trouble on other platforms.<\/p>\n<p>In the last week alone, Trump has called for the arrest of a journalist and publisher who reported a leaked Supreme Court opinion draft; levied racist attacks against Elaine Chao, who is married to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and claimed the 2020 election was stolen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, he repeated a debunked conspiracy implicating Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman, who testified before Congress last year that she\u2019s endured harassment because of such claims.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has in the past also shared photos and posts that directly referenced the QAnon conspiracy\u00a0theory. In September, he reposted an image of himself wearing a \u201cQ\u201d lapel pin and the words \u201cThe Storm is Coming,\u201d both direct nods to QAnon.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIf his behavior [on Truth Social] is any indication, he will \u2026 be continually walking up to the line of violating platform rules about disseminating falsehoods on certain very important subjects, like the validity of democracy and the nature of a public health threat,\u201d said Paul Barrett, deputy director of the New York University Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people in charge of trust and safety at Meta are going to have some very tough choices to make,\u201d Barrett added.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the new Meta guardrails, Trump could get suspended\u00a0for\u00a0one month\u00a0to\u00a0two years if he violates Facebook\u2019s community standards, Meta\u2019s President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said in a Wednesday blog post.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Other content that doesn\u2019t explicitly violate Meta\u2019s community standards, like posts delegitimizing an upcoming election or content related to QAnon, could trigger Facebook to make his posts unshareable or restrict advertising tools, Clegg said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The policy won\u2019t just <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly to Trump\u2019s account; it is Meta\u2019s new rule for additional penalties when a public figure is allowed to return to Facebook and Instagram after a suspension.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_case_against_Trumps_reinstatement\"><\/span>The case against Trump\u2019s reinstatement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Angela Carusone, president of the left-leaning watchdog group Media Matters for America, said the \u201cfact that [Meta] had to create these guardrails in the first place is the biggest indicator that there\u2019s a problem\u201d with giving Trump access to his accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt illustrates to me that they kind of know that they\u2019re walking into a landmine,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Media Matters was part of a coalition of advocacy groups and civil society organizations urging Meta to keep the ban on Trump in place. As part of the\u00a0push, Media Matters highlighted posts on Truth Social that\u00a0it\u00a0said showcase why Trump still posed a threat if returned to Facebook.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Media Matters analysis found nearly half of Trump\u2019s posts on Truth Social in the week after the 2022 midterm election pushed election misinformation or amplified QAnon-promoting accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Until June, Trump is contractually obligated to post content exclusively on Truth Social first for six hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Trump_may_return_to_Facebook_his_campaign\"><\/span>Why Trump may return to Facebook: his campaign<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One former Trump White House official\u00a0told The Hill\u00a0that while Trump would dictate or type out tweets, he did not have the same hands-on approach to Facebook. As a result, his staff may be able to more successfully moderate his tone on the platform if he rejoins.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear when or if he will resume posting on Facebook. Trump told Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> Digital last week that Facebook \u201cneeds us more than we need them,\u201d though it was his team that had reached out about a possible return to the platform.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Facebook is arguably of more value to Trump and his presidential ambitions than Twitter, however. Trump in 2016 redefined how to aggressively use Facebook targeted ads to generate small dollar contributions, and being able to solicit donations on the site again could provide a boon to his 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook also gives Trump access to a wider user base than on Truth Social. Meta reported 1.9 billion daily active users in its most recent earnings report released in October, while Truth Social had an estimated 8.3 million visitors in November, according to data from SimilarWeb.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One way Trump may use Facebook, and to avoid getting caught by the new guardrails in place, is to post links to Truth Social posts with the violative content, Carusone said. The most valuable opportunity Facebook offers Trump is through fundraising and advertising. In those cases, it may not matter as much if Trump\u2019s posts are first published on Truth Social.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But on Twitter, the main draw from Trump\u2019s account before his 2021 ban was the ability to respond to events in real time and shape a media narrative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the Truth Social exclusive deal still in place, Trump has yet to return to Twitter, even after\u00a0regaining access\u00a0two months ago. Within a month of closing his deal to buy Twitter, CEO Elon Musk gave Trump and other previously banned users access to their platforms again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president is still in a compromising position with the public, and he may lay low until closer to election,\u201d said Jennifer Grygiel, an associate professor at Syracuse University with a focus on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he comes back to these platforms it will be strategic, and he will be angling to be reelected,\u201d Grygiel added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
