Meta Preparing to Announce Decision on Donald Trump's Return to Facebook, Instagram: Report
Facebook owner Meta is preparing to announce whether it will allow former US President Donald Trump back on to Facebook and Instagram, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The social media giant had previously said it will decide by January 7 whether to allow the former president to return. However, that decision is now expected to be announced later in the month, the newspaper said, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Meta has set up a working group to focus on the matter, according to people with knowledge of its operations, the report said, adding that the group includes staffers from the public policy and communications teams, as well as from the content policy team.
Meta did not immediately respond to a request by Reuters for comment.
The development comes after Elon Musk, Twitter's new owner, revoked a permanent ban on Trump in November last year on the social media platform after polling users.
Trump maintained that he had no interest in returning to Twitter.
"I don't see any reason for it," the former president had said via video when asked whether he planned to return to Twitter by a panel at the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting.
Trump has mounted relentless attacks on the integrity of US voting since his 2020 election defeat and launched a bid in November to regain the presidency in 2024, aiming to pre-empt potential Republican rivals.
Last month, Meta agreed to pay $725 million (roughly Rs. 6,000 crore) to resolve a class-action lawsuit accusing the social media giant of allowing third parties, including Cambridge Analytica, to access users' personal information.
The proposed settlement, which was disclosed in a court filing in December, would resolve a long-running lawsuit prompted by revelations in 2018 that Facebook had allowed the British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica to access data of as many as 87 million users.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs called the proposed settlement the largest to ever be achieved in a US data privacy class action and the most that Meta has ever paid to resolve a class action lawsuit.

India's Robust Tech Ecosystem to See Spring, Not Winter; Digital Economy Ready for Strong 2023, MoS IT Says
India's digital prowess will grow in 2023 and over the next five years, driven by technology, start-ups, semiconductors, electronics and computing, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said allaying any concerns over tech winter, and predicting spring for the country's booming innovation ecosystem.
The comments by the IT minister are significant given the backdrop of slowdown headwinds in the West, recent spate of layoffs by US tech giants, global market turmoil, and talks of tech winter.
Chandrasekhar, who is the Minister of State for Electronics and IT, told PTI that global and domestic opportunities for digitisation continue to be "very strong".
He exuded confidence that India's trillion dollar digital economy vision is "well within our grasp" and "an absolutely incontrovertible fact".
The momentum of digital economy will continue in 2023, backed by enabling rules and laws that offer catalysing framework for technological growth and innovation, he promised.
It is pertinent to mention here that while India has tightened IT rules for the safety of digital and social media users, and work has started on new law for data protection, the norms for online gaming and contours of the draft Digital India Act are expected to be out soon.
"We see no winter...if anything, it is summer and spring for the next five years," Chandrasekhar asserted, citing the tech potential.
Demand for Indian talent, as well as products and technology that are designed in India and Made in India, continues to be robust, he pointed out.
"India as a market for consuming digital products and digital services is one of the biggest markets for the next 5-10 years. So all these (factors) point to India continuing its digital economy expansion to reach one trillion dollars in the next 4-5 years," Chandrasekhar said.
According to the minister, innovation and the start-up momentum will continue despite certain corrections now and then.
At the same time, companies cannot merely sit and relax, but will have to upskill and brace new business models to be relevant amid market disruptions, the minister noted.
Companies that do not innovate with agility, or adjust to changes will face challenges "created not by the market, but related to their own preparedness for this digital opportunity," he cautioned.
"...that trillion dollar digital economy is well within our grasp, and that we have a very reasonably high opportunity to reach the trillion dollar digital economy, firing on all cylinders, is an absolutely incontrovertible fact," Chandrasekhar said.
Since 2014 when India's digital might meant only IT and IT-enabled services, the country had taken rapid strides, diversifying and expanding into new areas.
Now while IT and ITES sector continue to grow at 15-20 percent per annum, there is also world-class startup and innovation ecosystem. While India has made a mark in electronics manufacturing, emerging as a production powerhouse, the year 2023 will also see rapid strides in deep tech innovation, semiconductor design, electronics design, blockchain, supercomputing, open compute initiatives, automotive, 5G and other emerging areas.
"In the coming five years, all these will continue to chug along at high rates of growth," Chandrasekhar said adding these new and emerging areas will attract investments, create digitalisation products, and services opportunity for the country.
"In those five years, will there be some corrections? Yes, this is the nature of tech...because tech is so disruptive and changes are so rapid, a company that was doing, say, something in the classic `Web2' area, will find itself totally irrelevant in the `Web3' space 1-2 years from now," he said underlining the need for companies to keep pace with technological changes.
