SAN FRANCISCO: Social networking giant Meta announced Jan 25 it would soon reinstate former president Donald Trump’s accounts on Facebook and Instagram with “new guardrails”, two years after he was banned over the 2021 US Capitol insurrection.

“We will be reinstating Mr Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks,” Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, said in a statement, adding that the move would come with “new guardrails in place to deter repeat offences”.
