Board says company broke its own rules The hypocrisy of Facebook’s so-called internal "supreme court" decision to uphold former President Donald Trump’s ban from the platform is astounding. However, this decision will ultimately help President Trump because it makes him a martyr for standing in defense of constitutional American freedoms. Every American should take note of this decision. If the Facebook oligarchs can silence someone who served as president of the United States and received nearly 75 million votes, then they can silence anyone. But to understand the depth of the hypocrisy and anti-Americanism of the Facebook elites, it is more revealing to look at who they are not removing from the platform.
