Donald Trump remains banned on Facebook, oversight board rules

Donald Trump remains banned from posting on Facebook, the company’s independent content oversight board ruled, permanently exiling the former U.S. president from the largest social network and leaving him without one of his favorite ways to reach supporters and goad opponents.

Facebook Inc. suspended Trump’s account after he encouraged his supporters to march on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in what became a deadly attempt to stop the counting of Electoral College votes for President Joe Biden. The ban was originally temporary, but was changed to an indefinite suspension the following day. The board’s decision is binding.
