Facebook's suspension of President Donald Trump has been upheld by an oversight board.
Facebook's independent Oversight Board on Wednesday announced it has ruled in favor of upholding the platform's suspension of former President Donald Trump's account.
"The Board found that the two posts by Mr. Trump on January 6 severely violated Facebook’s Community Standards and Instagram’s Community Guidelines," reported the board in their announcement.
“'We love you. You’re very special' in the first post and 'great patriots' and 'remember this day forever' in the second post violated Facebook’s rules prohibiting praise or support of people engaged in violence," the board continued.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
