Facebook hands decision on Trump ban to oversight board
- 3 years ago
Facebook said on Thursday it was referring its decision to indefinitely suspend the accounts of former U.S. President Donald Trump to its independent oversight board.
Trump will remain suspended while the board, a recently created body that can overrule the company's decisions on content, reviews the decision.
Facebook blocked Trump's access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts over concerns of further violent unrest following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by the former president's supporters.
