Meta said it had a responsibility to allow political expression and that Americans should be able to hear from presidential nominees on an equal basis.
Meta said fascists should have their voices heard. Zuck's a coward, what a fucking surprise.

Trump recently threatened multiple times to jail zuck. I wouldn’t be suprised if that had an impact on this decision.
Zuck’s a coward, what a fucking surprise.
E: though tbf it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he's letting trump back on the platform because he wouldn't mind him winning. After all, trump is good for billionaires, there's no question about that..
And if he loses, ban him again for saying something malicious and appear to be doing diligence
Terrorism works I guess.
Meta is cancer that has metastasized
so that's what meta is short for
I hope they know they should hide Mark Zuckerberg’s grave, because that thing is going to be so vandalized when he goes. Ill be the first to take a huge messy shit on it.
You're assuming this country won't be blown up before that time. I doubt any of us poors will live to see the day these assholes die. I've always wanted to watch trump have an aneurysm while at his Hitler esk rallies. Sadly that probably won't happen.
We won't see it, but at least we will die with other people. They're going out just like those billionaires on the Titanic sub - alone in a hostile environment, scared, banking stupidly on their own hubris instead of science.
The worst of our generation. Like the single worst person from Millennials by a long shot.
Hey, it is rude to shit in a urinal!
Thermite. Ensure that his body gets destroyed
Don’t deny future generations an opportunity. Mummify him and stick the mummy in a pillory.
Seal the neck with fire
That makes sense. It's hard to foment an insurrection or race massacre when most of your loyal soldiers don't use Truth Social.
Also, it doesn't make sense to give him tons of money ands then restrict him on your website at the same time too.
That’s meta Being scared that Trump is going to win
A few days after trump threated to arrest zuck after the election? What a surprise
I'm sure this time he will respect the rules.
at this point, the people who STILL support trump are going to vote for him regardless. all this accomplishes is giving him another outlet to spew ridiculous bullshit that demonstrates his idiocy and/or incriminates himself
Which allows him to mobilize and weaponize their idiocy. ¡No bueno muchachos!
there are still undecided voters and/or unmotivated voters.
sorry, if someone's trying to claim they're "on the fence" about whether to vote for trump or biden, then they just don't want to say out loud that they're voting for trump because they know they'll be (rightly) ridiculed by whoever's in earshot
unless they know they're surrounded by troompa loompas. in which case all of a sudden that "on the fence" bullshit goes out the window
Ok, but that's my point. The more campaigning those people hear from Trump, the more likely that they feel that they're right and they should go out for Trump. Also, I think there are people who are undecided nonetheless.
Yep his poll numbers went up after he was originally banned. Could be a coincidence, but it does make sense.
Oh wow what terrible timing
Gotta let a traitor be traitorous because the country might decide we want to overthrow the country again...
I'm pretty sure 'the country' decided against overthrowing 'the country'. The Minority Against Governing in America was largely rebuffed. Though I'm deeply concerned that they have not stopped planning their insurrection, and will try again.
"3 years later, Jan. 6 by the numbers: More than 1,200 charged, more than 460 imprisoned for role in Capitol attack" https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3-years-jan-6-numbers-1200-charged-460/story?id=106140326
It took the Nazis two tries as well.
And this is why I'm glad I quit using this shit website three years ago.
Why now? Idiots.
“All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time,” Trump wrote. “We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”
At the very least, even if Zuck isn't the best example, it's worth considering that the further conservatives descend into fascism, the more we'll see people take the easier option of not resisting.
$$$
Not the best decision.
Sure it is--for profits. If Trump gets reelected, all those pesky government regulations about the environment and securities will be thrown out window.
