Fox Business had more on the story:
President Trump could be back on Facebook as soon as January, according to one of the top executives at the social network’s parent company, Meta.
Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, said the decision would be up to him and that he isn’t taking it lightly.
Clegg made the announcement at an event hosted by Semafor, a new media organization, in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.
“I am very, very mindful that if you have this significant ability to take decisions which affect the public realm as a private sector company, you need to act with great caution,” Clegg said. “You shouldn’t throw your weight about.”
The former president was kicked off Facebook following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Facebook said at the time it believed the “risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.”
