Trump ban News

The White House released an order by Biden late Friday revoking several of Trump's executive orders. Trump, who made his anger with social media companies a campaign theme, issued his order after Twitter tagged his tweets about unsubstantiated claims of mail-in voting fraud with a warning to readers. After Trump's posts following the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks, Twitter and Facebook barred Trump from posting on their sites.

Trump was banned from Twitter, where he had more than 88 million followers and multiple other social media platforms following the deadly Jan. 6 siege of the US Capitol by his supporters. A Trump representative said they had nothing to do with the suspended accounts, which included @DJTDesk, @DJTrumpDesk, @DeskofDJT and @DeskOfTrump1. Trump plans to launch his own social media platform, an adviser has said.

The long-awaited ruling will bring the focus back onto how the world`s largest social network decides what world leaders and politicians can and can't say on their platforms. Facebook defines politicians as candidates running for office, current officeholders, and many cabinet appointees, along with political parties and their leaders. Facebook exempts politicians` posts and paid ads from its third-party fact-checking program, though it did start affixing some separate labels, for example, notices about voter fraud rarity on some of Trump's posts around the election.
