Facebook exec implied Trump's suspension would continue past 2023 if he encouraged violence but not if he spread lies
— two years after he was booted from the platform. At that time, Facebook said it would reevaluate its decision to suspend Trump and would allow him to use it if the risk to public safety has"receded." Stephanopoulos on Sunday pressed Clegg and asked if Trump's continued spreading of misinformation would hinder his returning to Facebook in 2023.
"We have a whole range of tools that we use to deal with misinformation," Clegg said Sunday."So we work with fact-checkers around the world to demote and label content, whether it claims about elections or indeed false claims about anything else. "That is something we would apply to people who are not in active office or not pursuing office as candidates in politics," he continued."That is a system that applies to everybody else. and would apply in Donald Trump's case as long as he's no longer a candidate.
