Facebook board upholds Trump exile, sends final decision back to company

LA Times  

President Trump arrives at the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington before some of his supporters went on to besiege the Capitol. In a statement, the organization said freezing Trump’s account after the insurrection was the right response but it was “not appropriate for Facebook to impose the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension.” In keeping with “the rules that are applied to other users,” it could end the suspension, or make it permanent, or even end it and immediately renew it — but it must do one of those things within six months and be able to explain it in policy terms. In a brief response to the ruling, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs and communications, Nick Clegg, said the company was “pleased the board has recognized that the unprecedented circumstances justified the exceptional measure” Facebook took in banning Trump, and “will now consider the board’s decision and determine an action that is clear and proportionate.” For now, Clegg said, Trump will remain suspended. “This verdict is a desperate attempt to have it both ways, upholding the ‘ban’ of Donald Trump without actually banning him, while punting any real decisions back to Facebook,” a Facebook-critical watchdog group calling itself the “Real Facebook Oversight Board” said in a statement responding to the Wednesday ruling. Trump’s de-platforming was important because it deprived him of the megaphone he’d previously used to incite anti-lockdown protests and the “Stop the Steal” campaign, not to mention the Capitol riot, she said.
