I mean I see the sensibility after reading the article, especially when applied to every other politician and the like. But… Trump is hate… Its all he spews everywhere…
Trump broke platform rules -> Trump punished with restrictions
Other politicians didn’t break rules -> no restrictions
… Fear of public perception and loss of advertising revenue …
Trump restrictions lifted -> now it’s “fair” for Trump to do whatever he likes on Facebook and be treated the same as politicians who don’t break platform rules
It only makes sense when optimizing for ad revenue and there we go, I just answered my own question. Let’s not pretend this is about actual fairness or objectivity on Facebook’s part.
I’m not going to verify, because thats a long fucken time to spend scrolling an app I no longer use, but they claim they never had to use any of the strict repercussions. Do what you will with that. I know its about ads but this same stuff could happen to one of us running off of “Eat the Rich” or some shit. The article also mentions some obligation of posting to Truth Social first.

This doesn’t really matter anyways, he started his own social network, he doesn’t really want to participate in the social networks he can’t control
