A ban on Donald Trump from using Facebook has been upheld by the social network’s oversight board – though the group raised concerns about the indeterminate duration of the measure.
The former US president was blocked from the platform indefinitely following violent clashes in the US Capitol on January 6, which Mr Trump was blamed for inciting.
Videos shared across the 74-year-old’s social accounts called those who stormed the Capitol “patriots” and said: “We love you.”
The incident resulted in five people dying.
The board concluded that two posts by Mr Trump “severely violated” Facebook’s Community Standard but said it was “not appropriate” for the social network to impose “the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension”.

Formula One bosses have announced that June’s Canadian Grand Prix has been cancelled.
The Montreal event will be replaced by a race in Turkey, with F1 still hopeful of pulling off a record-breaking 23-round calendar this year.
F1 was unable to strike an agreement with Canadian officials to avoid 14 days of quarantine for the sport’s travelling circus, leading to the cancellation of the race for a second consecutive season.
The Canadian GP follows China in becoming the second race to be axed from F1’s original calendar.
