    I agree with the logic. Of course, it would be difficult for Trump to appear contrite without sounding like he was taking some responsibility for his loyalists attacking the Capitol on Jan 6th.
    And apparently he was so blatant in doing it, makes perfect sense considering why he was banned in the first place

    Trump did experience blowback from some of his supporters after his tepid recognition that something improper had occurred immediately after January 6th so he surely ain't going in that direction any time soon

    FB hates cons -it aint all just about Trump either. it's also James Wood and Milo Yiannopoulos if i recall
    Well, that is debatable, plus I think Facebook was looking at Trump comments for the two months leading up to January 6th as much as that day alone

    Wood, and especially Yiannopoluos, should be banned as misinformation, very little either have to contribute

    As you fully know, Facebook is a private entity, so that "tradition of open unfettered political speech" is irrelevant

    Actually I think James Woods wasn't banned from Facebook. Just Twitter.

    It is gone.

    We are most certainly no longer a Free Mind society, we dont practice that and huge numbers of ignorant cowards dont want that, it disturbs their peace, and they are fragile....they have been intentionally encouraged to be fragile by their betters who need/want victims to exploit.....just look at what takes place in our schools now for instance.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Now in what world is breaking into the very seat of the American Government, threatening members of Congress including the nation's VP, and injuring 140 Capitol police in the process "law abiding?"

    No wonder Facebook extended Donnie's ban
    Eventually, the Cheeto Jesus (love that....thanks Meghan McCain) will be back on either twitter or Facebook...and probably will be banned again. I don't think they can legally keep him off until after the up coming elections. We'll see.
