Trump question comes back to Facebook
The platform’s external Oversight Board says Facebook was right to suspend Donald Trump’s account but wrong to do it indefinitely
The platform’s external Oversight Board says Facebook was right to suspend Donald Trump’s account after the January riot in Washington DC, but wrong to do it indefinitely and without enough explanation. It says Facebook itself must now rule on whether to reinstate or ban permanently Mr Trump. Plus, how personalised music playlists might help reduce anxiety and pain in medical patients.
