Trump was indefinitely suspended from Facebook amid the Capitol riot in January. Last month, the social media giant’s Oversight Board, an independent group of hand-picked journalists, activists, and lawyers that was formed to look at content moderation decisions, upheld Facebook’s decision to ban the former president, but said it disagreed with the indefinite nature of the ban.

As part of its decision, the Oversight Board said Facebook had six months to to review the nature of the ban and either “impose a time-limited suspension or account deletion.”
