Facebook Inc on Friday suspended former U.S. President Donald Trump until at least January 2023.

Facebook had suspended Trump's account the day after the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot.

That suspension will last at least two years from the date of the initial block. 
Trump criticized the decision as a form of censorship and an insult to his voters.

This new timeline denies Republican Trump a major social media megaphone ahead of the November 2022 congressional elections. However, it means he may be able to return to Facebook well before the next presidential election in late 2024.
