Did they realize this two years ago when they said that the suspension would last two years? https://about.fb.com/news/2021/06/facebook-response-to-overs... If you got this wrong, consider if you got your medical knowledge wrong too. Try talking to your doctor for medical advice.

What a bizarre choice. Why 2 years? to guarantee one election cycle without Trump trying to void the election and lead a army to ransack the Capitol ?

#18It was insane that this ever happened, honestly. I'm interested to hear what history decides, but it's hard to sympathize with.
