Facebook s independent oversight board was gearing up Tuesday for a momentous decision on the platform s ban of former US president Donald Trump, as debate swirls on the role of social media in curbing hateful and abusive speech while enabling political discourse.
The ruling set for release at 1300 GMT Wednesday is likely to be a defining moment for the leading social network s so-called supreme court envisioned by company founder Mark Zuckerberg to make thorny decisions on what to allow or remove from Facebook.
The oversight board, which makes decisions that are binding on Facebook and cannot be appealed, will rule on whether to leave in place the Trump ban, or allow him back on the platform. It may also make related recommendations to the California-based social giant.
