A permanent Trump ban has grave implications for global free expression
As the Facebook Oversight Board prepares to either reinstate or permanently banish former President Donald Trump from the social media platform later this month, their decision will impact more than the fate of a single voice. Countless individuals depend on the site to hold human rights abusers accountable and instigate justice for the oppressed in the court of public opinion. They are waiting to see if the board sets a new global precedent, at least in the court of public opinion, for who or what can determine how and when people can use their voice, if at all.
