Facebook May Friend Trump Again
F
acebook may soon lift its ban on former President Donald Trump. Nick Clegg, president for global
affairs of parent company Meta, said he will ultimately be the one to decide, first talking to experts and weighing real-world effects before making a final decision. “It’s not a capricious decision.
We will look at the signals related to real-world harm to make a decision whether at the two-year point — which is early January next year — whether Trump gets reinstated to the platform,” Clegg said. “We’ll talk to the experts;
we’ll talk to third parties; we will try to assess what we think the implications will be of bringing Trump back onto the platform,” he added. Trump was kicked off Facebook
in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. He is still banned from YouTube and Twitter.
Justice Dept Accused of Threatening Pro-Lifers T
he lawyer for pro-life activist mark houck, who was arrested after the FBI stormed his home in September, denounced the raid as “solely
to intimidate people of faith and pro-life Americans.” “Rather than accepting Mark Houck’s offer to appear voluntarily, the Biden Department of Justice chose to make an unnecessary show of potentially deadly force, sending 20 heavily armed federal agents to the Houck residence at dawn,” said Peter Breen, vice president of the Thomas More Society. “In threatening form, after nearly breaking down the family’s front door, at
least five agents pointed guns at Mark’s head and arrested him in front of his wife and seven young children, who were terrified that their husband and father would be shot dead before their eyes.” Houck, 48, a volunteer sidewalk counselor from Kintnersville, Pennsylvania,
who drives hours to Philadelphia every Wednesday to speak outside abortion clinics, was indicted by a grand jury, according to National Review. He was charged with two counts of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE), which makes it a federal crime to interfere with access to an abortion clinic, and faces up to 11 years in prison and fines of up to $350,000. Houck allegedly pushed a pro-abortion man, identified as “B.L.” in a Depart-
ment of Justice press release, away from Houck’s 12-year-old son last October after the man allegedly entered “the son’s personal space” and wouldn’t stop making “crude . . . inappropriate and disgusting” comments about the family. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has written to Attorney General Merrick Garland,
asking why pro-life protesters such as Houck are arrested by the FBI while the department turns “a blind eye to the epidemic of violence across the country by pro-abortion extremists against pregnancy resource centers, houses of worship, and pro-life Americans.” The Missouri senator also requested that Garland testify under oath before
the Senate Judiciary Committee about the “selective use and apparent political weaponization of the FACE Act.”
Google ‘Un-Spams’ GOP G
oogle will launch a pilot program to prevent political campaign emails from going directly into users’ spam
folders, according to Axios. Last month, the Federal Election Commission (FEC)
approved Google’s plan to seemingly bring more balance to how election emails are handled, after Newsmax and other outlets reported that Republican emails were directed to spam

folders more than Democrat messages. Email users will still have the option to move political
messages to spam folders, but now this process will require a manual setting. According to Axios, users will initially encounter a banner email asking if they want to keep seeing the messages, unsubscribe, or report the material as spam. “We will test whether these changes improve the user
experience, and provide more certainty for senders,” Google spokesperson José Castañeda told Axios.
