Former US President Donald Trump loved to express his views and opinions online, but now that will see him continue to be banned from Facebook.

The former president’s ban from Facebook and Instagram has been upheld by Facebook’s Oversight Board – meaning he will stay banned off the platform at least for now.

In the landmark decision, the board found that Trump’s actions surrounding the January 6 Capitol riots “severely violated” Facebook’s policies.

It also says Trump’s posts “created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible.”

However, the board warns that this decision must be reviewed regularly.

Known as the ‘court for facebook’ – they criticized Facebook’s initial moves to make Trump’s blockage “indefinite”.

The board has ordered Facebook to review the decision and “justify a proportionate response” that is applied to everyone, including ordinary users.

And over at the White House, Press Secretary Jen Psaki says the Biden administration will not make any comments on the future of the former President’s account.

So, as it stands the “@realDonaldTrump” Facebook account will continue to stay deactivated – at least for now.
