Facebook Oversight Board Begins Accepting Public Comments on Donald Trump’s Suspension

By Christine Zosche 

If you have an opinion on Facebook’s decision to indefinitely suspend the Facebook and Instagram accounts of former President Donald Trump—and really, who doesn’t?—you can now share your thoughts with the social network’s independent content oversight board, which is reviewing the case. (Adweek)

The board is asking the public for its views on a host of issues surrounding the suspension, including whether the decision meets with Facebook’s “responsibilities to respect freedom of expression and human rights” and how the company should balance potentially dangerous activity off of the social network when making its decisions. The public has until Feb. 8 to make submissions. (CNET)

The board will issue a decision on Trump’s Facebook fate within 90 days of Jan. 21, though the verdict could come sooner. (TechCrunch)
