Donald Trump's digital leash has been removed as Meta rolls back the last of its Jan 6-era restrictions on his accounts

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Meta reinstated his Facebook and Instagram accounts in January 2023 with the now-terminated restrictions -- and YouTube gave Trump his channel back in March of the same year.
44% : After being removed from mainstream sites, Trump founded an alternative social networking site and has used it as his primary platform since its launch in February 2022.
36% : Though his old social media accounts are now unrestricted and boasting tens of millions of followers, Trump is still primarily sticking with his own company, Truth Social.
32% : "The statement said that the penalties were considered "a response to extreme and extraordinary circumstances" and ultimately were never needed because Trump didn't continue to violate the platform's terms after reinstatement.
21% : Trump was originally banned from Meta's platforms, X (formerly Twitter), and Google-owned YouTube days after the Capitol riot.
7% : The reversal of restrictions on Trump's accounts comes just days after Trump threatened Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg with prison time if he's elected again, escalating the pair's yearslong public feud.
