The Facebook (FB) oversight board’s decision to uphold an indefinite ban on former President Trump’s account renewed calls for antitrust action against the social media giant Wednesday. But one lawmaker spearheading the charge to reshape the country’s antitrust law says Trump should be banned permanently.
Speaking to Yahoo Finance, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D, MN) said Trump’s refusal to admit defeat in the 2020 presidential election, and continued lies about election fraud are reason enough to ban him from social media platforms, altogether.
“He is the ultimate conveyor of misinformation, he s a disinformer in chief. He is the one that basically still will not admit that he lost the election and keeps putting out theories that literally undermine our democracy itself,” Klobuchar said. “It’s not like he’s changed his tune in terms of undermining democracy.”
