Bar-a-Lago: Facebook to review Trump ban
Facebook’s independent oversight board will review the company’s decision to ban former US president Donald Trump’s social media accounts.
Both Trump’s Facebook and Instagram profiles will remain suspended while the review is underway, the company announced.
In the first move of its kind, Mark Zuckerberg’s company suspended the former president earlier this month in the hours after an insurrection at the US Capital in Washington DC.
Facebook expressed concerns that Trump’s presence on the social media sites could stoke further civil unrest among supporters.
Trump last week became the first US president in history to be impeached twice, after a majority at the US House of Representatives formally charged him with inciting an insurrection.
