Accountable Tech on Meta Removing Trump Account Restrictions

Accountable Tech Co-Founder and Executive Director Nicole Gill issued the following statement on Meta removing its restrictions to former President Trump’s accounts ahead of the 2024 elections:

“Mark Zuckerberg himself said that former President Donald Trump used Facebook to ‘incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government’ on January 6, 2021. While Facebook may remember all your friends’ birthdays, the company fails to remember its role in fomenting the January 6th deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“By removing the last remaining restrictions on Trump’s accounts, Meta is enabling the former president, a convicted criminal, to once again use its platforms to spread dangerous disinformation, inflammatory hate speech, and to again stoke anti-democratic violence without the heightened scrutiny his accounts deserve. Make no mistake: removing these restrictions is not leveling the field for candidates, but rather, elevating dangerous rhetoric for further attacks on our democracy.”
