After Facebook's oversight board voted to uphold Facebook's indefinite ban on President Donald Trump Wednesday morning, the 45th President blasted big tech in a statement posted to his new communication

Facebook’s oversight board upheld the company’s decision to ban former President Donald Trump Wednesday morning.
“The Board found that, in maintaining an unfounded narrative of electoral fraud and persistent calls to action, Mr. Trump created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible,” the board said in a statement.
It also found, however, that a permanent ban was inappropriate, and requested that Facebook reach a “proportionate response that is consistent with the rules that are applied to other users of the platform.”
“Within six months of this decision, Facebook must reexamine the arbitrary penalty it imposed on January 7 and decide the appropriate penalty,” the social media platform said.

Following Facebook s decision to uphold its suspension of former President Donald Trump Wednesday, people took to a different social media platform to share their opinions.
The Oversight Board, a Facebook-appointed panel of journalists, activists and lawyers who deliberate on the company s content decisions, upheld the company s move to restrict the then-president s access to posting content on his Facebook page and Instagram account following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The board said Facebook was justified in suspending Trump s accounts but found it was not appropriate to impose an indefinite suspension. Therefore, the board recommended that Facebook apply a defined penalty and gave the company six months to complete its review of the matter and make its final decision on the status of Trump s account.
