Discussions surrounding the defensibility of the decision have since gained momentum.
Insider spoke to two freedom of expression experts to gauge their opinions on the ruling.
Earlier this week, Facebook s Oversight Board announced its decision on the future of ex-president, Donald Trump s account. On Wednesday, the independent board ruled to uphold the social network s suspension of Trump s account but said the company must review its decision within six months.
The key decision came after Facebook suspended Trump s account on January 7, after the Capitol Siege, which he s been accused of inciting. The Board has upheld Facebook s decision on January 7 to suspend then-President Trump from Facebook and Instagram. Trump s posts during the Capitol riot severely violated Facebook s rules and encouraged and legitimized violence, the Oversight Board said in a tweet.
