Social media firm 'Meta' says Trump’s suspension will end “in the coming weeks”.

Facebook and Instagram to end Trump's suspension from platforms.

According to via: NBC News: Former President Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts are being reinstated, the social media giant Meta announced Wednesday — a little more than two years after he was suspended from the platforms over incendiary posts about the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Trump’s accounts will be reinstated “in the coming weeks” with “new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses,” Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, said in a statement. 

Meta owns Facebook and Instagram. 

The guardrails will include “heightened penalties for repeat offenses — penalties which will apply to other public figures whose accounts are reinstated from suspensions related to civil unrest under our updated protocol,” Clegg said on the company’s website. “In the event that Mr. Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation.” 

Trump celebrated the announcement on his social media platform, Truth Social. “FACEBOOK, which has lost Billions of Dollars in value since ‘deplatforming’ your favorite President, me, has just announced that they are reinstating my account. Such a thing should never again happen to a sitting President, or anybody else who is not deserving of retribution!” he wrote. 

Asked why Meta was reinstating Trump despite recent inflammatory posts on Truth Social, Clegg said the company wanted to tread lightly on censorship concerns. 

“We’re not trying to kind of, you know, censor everything that everyone says in an open and free democracy,” Clegg said in an interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson. “We think that open and free debate on the rough and tumble of democratic debate should play out on Facebook and Instagram as much as anywhere else.” Clegg contended that Meta has demonstrated a willingness to “draw a very sharp line,” knowing that what is posted on Facebook and Instagram can lead to real-world harm, and that it “will act, and we have acted.” Asked whether an effort by Trump to delegitimize an election by lying about it would lead to another suspension, Clegg suggested that it would not, unless it clearly led to “imminent and real-world harm.” Instead, he said, the company would “take action to restrict the circulation of that content.” 

Meta lifted Trump’s suspension weeks after the time frame Facebook gave itself to re-evaluate the 2021 ban and shortly after Republicans — many of whom have criticized Facebook’s decision — regained control of the House. 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., then the minority leader, vowed to “rein in big tech power over our speech” after Facebook announced the length of Trump’s suspension in 2021.

Photos: At last, the face of Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott's son is REVEALED

Finally!!!

Kylie Jenner’s son, previously known as Wolf, has a new name. 

While we thought for sure that the Kardashian-Jenner crew was going to use the baby’s name-change reveal as a hook to lure viewers to the next season of their Hulu show, Kylie revealed not only his name — but also his face — on Instagram. 

His name is Aire — and he’s adorable. 

Previously, Kylie and Travis announced they decided to change the baby’s name a few weeks after he was born 

“ “FYI OUR SONS NAME ISN’T WOLF ANYMORE. WE JUST REALLY DIDN’T FEEL LIKE IT WAS HIM,” she explained, adding, “JUST WANTED TO SHARE BECAUSE I KEEP SEEING WOLF EVERYWHERE.”.

How Jeff Bezos hired an Amazon candidate on the spot as one of his assistants with just 2 questions!

Ann Hiatt did not think much when she applied for the job at Amazon.

Before meeting Jeff Bezos, she went through a typical interview process on various levels within the company. Once she got an interview with Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest people on the planet, Hiatt became his junior assistant on the spot. All it took were two carefully designed questions. Ann came to the interview relaxed and felt even greater relief once Bezos informed her that he would only ask two questions. So, here is what it took Hiatt to become Bezos’ right hand. 

Ann Hiatt did not think much when she applied for the job at Amazon. Before meeting Jeff Bezos, she went through a typical interview process on various levels within the company. 

Once she got an interview with Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest people on the planet, Hiatt became his junior assistant on the spot. All it took were two carefully designed questions. 

Ann came to the interview relaxed and felt even greater relief once Bezos informed her that he would only ask two questions. 

So, here is what it took Hiatt to become Bezos’ right hand. 

Jeff bezos asked an amazon candidate two questions, then hired her on the spot as one of his assistants. 

When she got to talk to the billionaire CEO, he asked her to solve a brain teaser, saying, "I'll do the math." 

Bezos asked: "I want you to estimate the number of panes of glass in the city of Seattle." 

Hiatt responded she would involve the city's population, then determine whether they had homes, transportation, an office, and a school. 

The two went into detail and "got down into every possible scenario, group, anomaly, and ways to account for these exceptions." 

Bezos finally concluded: "That looks about right." 

Once Hiatt impressed Bezos with her first answer, he asked about her career goals. 

Hiatt responded that "Amazon had proven to be a company full of ambitious and passionate people." She added she wanted to learn from the company since "their strengths were in the areas I wanted to develop." 

Though she told her future boss she had no experience as an assistant, Bezos hired Hiatt on the spot. 

It took Hiatt several years of working for Bezos to figure out what he wanted from an interview. Not only was the young woman hired on the spot, but her desk was closest to Bezos', three feet away. 

That’s how she figured out how Bezos’ mind works. Explaining his interviewing process, Hiatt said that Bezos "was measuring my potential." He wanted to explore if the then-potential employee "had the grit, courage, and motivation to run at his pace and be brave enough to jump with him and level up consistently." 

Today, Ann Hiatt is a Silicon Valley veteran. 

Her interview with Bezos from 2002 only proved that the CEO knew how to spot talent despite her lack of experience. 

With time, she landed new opportunities, started her own company, and became a published author. Hiatt’s hiring story is encouraging, proving that the most successful bosses follow unconventional interviews. 

However, they are much simpler than we once thought.

$12.7M goes missing from Usain Bolt's account - leaving a balance of $12,000!

Usain Bolt is threatening to sue a private investment firm in Jamaica after more than $12million (£10million) disappeared from his account.

Lawyers for the eight-time Olympic gold medalist claim a check on his balance earlier this month revealed he had been left with barely $12,000 (£9700) after what they described as a potential act of fraud. It has been reported in Jamaica that the retired sprinter, whose earnings per season were estimated to top $25m (£20m) when he was active, has given the firm a 10-day deadline to return the money. 

Linton P Gordon, a lawyer for Bolt, said: ‘The account was part of Bolt's retirement and lifetime savings.

#Qatar2022: See how FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 broke World Records

The Final was one of three matches at Lusail Stadium that drew the greatest crowd for a FIFA World Cup match.

88,966 people filled Lusail Stadium on December 18, 2022, while nearly 1.5 billion people watched the thrilling Final between Argentina and France from around the world. 

We take a look back at some statistics from on and off the field that illustrate the size of the biggest single sporting event in history, one month to the day after Lionel Messi, Lionel Scaloni, and La Albiceleste raised the cup. 

According to preliminary estimates, 5 billion people have followed the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on a variety of platforms and devices throughout the media landscape. 

Nielsen reports that there have been 93.6 million postings on social media, with a total reach of 262 billion and 5.95 billion interactions. 3.4 million spectators, up from 3 million in 2018, watched the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 inside the stadiums and were treated to a historic event. 

The Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup set a new record for scoring with 172 goals, surpassing the previous mark of 171 set in both 1998 and 2014. 

The Final was one of three matches at Lusail Stadium that drew the greatest crowd for a FIFA World Cup match since Brazil vs. Italy in 1994, when 94,194 spectators watched the game at Pasadena's Rose Bowl. 

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 by the numbers It was a tournament too of notable contributions from some of football’s heavyweights. Cristiano Ronaldo became the first man to score at five FIFA World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022) while Lionel Messi became the first player to score in four successive knockout stage matches in a FIFA World Cup since the round of 16 was introduced into the modern era, at Mexico ‘86. 

Messi also passed another landmark when he made his 26th FIFA World Cup appearance in the final, overtaking the record previously held by Lothar Matthäus. 

The fastest goal came after just 68 seconds when Canada's Alphonso Davies, 22, scored against Croatia. At just 18 years and 110 days, Spain’s Gavi became the youngest goal scorer at a World Cup since Pelé in 1958, with a stunning strike during the 7-0 win against Costa Rica.
