The board of 20 political leaders, journalists and human rights activists chosen by the social media giant made their ruling Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>This came after Trump\u2019s page was suspended in early January and the board received over 9,000 comments regarding the case, which is more than any other case before.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Board has upheld Facebook\u2019s decision on January 7 to suspend then-President Trump from Facebook and Instagram. Trump\u2019s posts during the Capitol riot severely violated Facebook\u2019s rules and encouraged and legitimized violence.  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/veRvWpeyCi\">https:\/\/t.co\/veRvWpeyCi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OversightBoard\/status\/1389928311174750211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Skeptics of the process are calling it a \u201csideshow\u201d that hardly addresses the flaws in the site\u2019s content moderation practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey hire contractors both domestically and internationally to assess content on a constant basis,\u201d explained Gautam Hans, a law professor at Vanderbilt University. \u201cThey would prefer that we don\u2019t know about that because the existence of human-mediated content moderation belies the idea that this can be done effectively at scale and without bias, but of course it\u2019s always going to be impossible to have a computer make these kinds of judgment calls because they\u2019re notoriously context-dependent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decision will have lasting effects as the board has been delegated to also provide recommendations for handling political leaders\u2019 accounts in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Facebook is more interested in acting like a Democrat Super PAC than a platform for free speech and open debate.<\/p>\n<p>If they can ban President Trump, all conservative voices could be next.<\/p>\n<p>A House Republican majority will rein in big tech power over our speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1389938116753035264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/analyzing-bidens-economic-proposals\/\">Analyzing Biden\u2019s Economic Proposals<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE- In this March 29, 2018, file photo, the logo for Facebook appears on screens at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York\u2019s Times Square.
