Trump Appeals Suspension to Rejoin Facebook, Instagram
Former President Donald Trump has submitted a statement of appeal to an oversight board funded by Facebook in a bid to rejoin the platform. The decision is expected to take around two and a half months.
Former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, who is a co-chair of the oversight board, told UK’s Channel 4 News that they are currently looking into the appeal concerning Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. The board was set up to be an independent group to hear users’ appeals and is comprised of 19 former politicians, journalists, and academics.
Facebook's Oversight Board, which the company set up as an independent appeals body for content moderation decisions, picked up a second case from India on Tuesday.

Facebook Oversight Committee Taking Comments on Trump’s Suspension
Social media giant Facebook has called for comments from the public on former President Donald Trump’s indefinite suspension from the platform, with the input set to inform a decision by an advisory panel on whether Trump will be allowed back on.
Facebook’s Oversight Board, which includes lawyers, current and former journalists, rights advocates, and academics, said in an announcement Friday that people and groups with “valuable perspectives” on Trump’s suspension can submit their comments via an online form by a Feb. 8 deadline. The advisory group has until April to decide on whether to reinstate Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, which the company froze after the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
