Facebook Oversight Board upholds Donald Trump's suspension (CNN)

Facebook can keep blocking former President Donald Trump from using its platform, the social network's court-like Oversight Board said Wednesday in a landmark move that affirmed the company's decision to issue the suspension after the January 6 US Capitol riots.
The board said it concluded that Trump's posts on January 6, which praised the rioters, "severely violated" Facebook's policies and "created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible."

1. I understand FB will review this decision in 6 months.

I hope FB sticks to this policy forever because 45 will never shut up.

2. Uh, Facebook's biggest mistake was their algorithm

Anybody who clicks on some clickbait right wing lie will find themselves deluged with more of the same. That goes for people who have a long time preference for left of center or apolitical content. The far right has been extremely aggressive in exploiting this.

Banning Dumdum from easy to access megaphone web sites is only a first step. They're going to have to look very, very closely at their active participation in pushing damaging right wing content.

3. If they fail to ban this Degenerate for LIFE; he'll be back with more Lies and Violence in '24

Don’t ever let him use the Facebook platform ever again.
