Facebook was justified in banning then-President Donald Trump from its platform the day after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, but it needs to reassess how long the ban will remain in effect, the social network’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said Wednesday. The decision to uphold the ban is a blow to Trump's hopes to post again to Facebook or Instagram anytime soon, but it opens the door to him eventually returning to the platforms. Facebook must complete a review of the length of the suspension within six months, the board said.

Leftist democrats need to control what their people see & hear today for the very same reason Southern Democrats didn’t allow their slaves to read or write 150 years ago.
Evil Then.
Evil Now.

If you're still on Facebook, delete your account today. They're just tools of the Democratic Party at this point, and every time you log on you're putting money in their coffers. Just say no!

The left continues to swirl in the toilet bowl heading for the sewer. Unfortunately we get caught up in the swirl.

I may anger some posters here, but anyone still using Facebook is actively helping to destroy this country.

FB is a corrupt waste of space. Zuckerberg committed felonies by pouring hundreds of millions into stealing the election. The whole bunch belong in federal prison strapped naked onto the cement slab for 3 years (like they illegally did to my friend). If there was justice in this world, it would happen....The one time I will allow an exception to the ban against cruel and unusual punishment is for corrupt traitors like the DemonRats who are destroying our country.

Commies own the means of production.
Nazis sub it out but control the owners.
Dems sub it out to Silly Clone Valley.

Excuse David Ingram at NBC News. No, Facebook was not justified in banning Donald Trump. That is your opinion and should not be included in an article that is supposed to be factual. What did Donald Trump do wrong on January 6?

"Trump's Facebook ban upheld" Seriously, who thought it wouldn't be??? It was done to humiliate him. Appealing their ridiculous ban is even more humiliating. And, whomever suggested he request an appeal should be fired or removed as an advisor.
XPDJT has creativity and resources. He can make it without them.

I vote that all TV and radio stations associated with NBC have their broadcast licenses revoked by the FCC.

The LSM and, too often, others use the word,”riot “. No, there was a lot of over-the-top silliness inside and flag-waving outside, but no riot.
The only violence was when the unnamed cop murdered Ashli Babbitt.

I wonder how much control Mark Z's wife has over him. Is she a Chinese spy?

I see it differently. If you quit Facebook, get back on now!!! Then post at least a dozen posts a day praising President Trump and trashing not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden!!!!
You will probably end up in Facebook "jail" quite a bit, but don't stop. Let's blanket Facebook with so many pro-trump posts that the eternally butt-hurt Facebook folks will slither off to their mommys' basements and finally accept defeat!!!!
Hey, 70,000,000 Trump voters times 12 posts a day is 840,000,000 posts a day. Let's break Facebook!!!!!

So, the current read is that the Facebook's "Board" is 95% Trump Haters and Never-Trumpers, and 3/4 foreign nationals. WTH for an "American company"? Strip them of Section 230 benefits NOW. Facebook's Z-Boy is just the CCP's groveling playtoy, IYKWIM, and anyone still on the platform is either anti-American or too addicted to care... or both.

Foolishly, FB has made itself irrelevant. I will not return. I miss my friends and their funny memes. But I have no intention of going back. Zuck can 'play with' himself.

The "Oversight Board" are mostly leftists and some from outside the US.
This is like watching a bad comedy.

The rinos and never-trumpers just don't get it: this is not about Donald Trump. It is about America First job creating policies that benefitted all Americans not just Wall Street, the rich, big business, big tech or DC politicians. It's about not starting or participating in unneccessary wars overseas. It's about implementing creative political and economic solutions for long-standing problems. It's about freedom, liberty, equal treatment under the law and respecting the American constitution. It's about government leaders (of both parties) getting rich while managing our economic decline. It's about the arrogant lies of leaders entrusted with the nations' well-being. It's about the suffering induced by their heavy-handed approach to governing. It's about politically-protected liars, thieves, vandals and arsonists who break the law and go free - rules for us but not for them. It's about watching what is best about America being obliterated by ambitious, greedy academics and media personalities deliberately stoking nearly extinguished embers of racial hatred or exploiting pandemic fears. It is about marxism, socialism and totalitarian CCP-style communism taking over one political party while weak leaders in the other party either stand by and watch (saying and doing nothing), loudly "protest" and still do nothing or worse yet, secretly cooperate!
Most Americans are law-abiding, want to have a good job or successful business, care for one's children/family and live a good life, worship their God in peace, without fear of reprisal, threats of physical violence or imprisonment because of their point of view. America is swiftly becoming a place where doing so will be difficult, perhaps even impossible. I guess for some folks, it is just about being fed up.
