Facebook's Trump ban upheld by Oversight Board for now - BBC News
- 3 years ago
Donald Trump's ban from Facebook and Instagram has been upheld by Facebook's Oversight Board.
But it criticised the permanent nature of the ban as beyond the scope of Facebook's normal penalties.
It has ordered Facebook to review the decision and "justify a proportionate response" that is applied to everyone, including ordinary users.
The former president was banned from both sites in January following the Capitol Hill riots.
