Facebook ‘Supreme Court’ Upholds the Blacklisting of Donald Trump
Facebook’s “Supreme Court” has upheld Mark Zuckerberg’s blacklisting of former President Donald Trump’s accounts temporarily, giving Facebook another six months to announce whether it will be lifting the suspension or deleting Trump’s pages.
The Daily Mail reports that Facebook’s oversight board, commonly known as the “Supreme Court,” has voted to temporarily uphold the ban on former President Trump’s accounts on the platform. The board has reportedly told Facebook that it has six months to announce an end date to the former President’s suspension or permanently delete his pages.
The board announced its decision today, almost exactly four months since the Capitol riots which resulted in Trump’s suspension as the Masters of the Universe accused him of encouraging the riots. The board stated in its announcement that it was upholding the suspension but also criticized Facebook for violating its own rules by not providing Trump with an end date for the suspension as it does for its other users.
The board stated that Facebook cannot “make up the rules as it goes along,” by banning some users for a set amount of time and others indefinitely. The board stated:
The Board has upheld Facebook’s decision on January 7, 2021, to restrict then-President Donald Trump’s access to posting content on his Facebook page and Instagram account.
However, it was not appropriate for Facebook to impose the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension.
Facebook’s normal penalties include removing the violating content, imposing a time-bound period of suspension, or permanently disabling the page and account.
The Board insists that Facebook review this matter to determine and justify a proportionate response that is consistent with the rules that are applied to other users of its platform. Facebook must complete its review of this matter within six months of the date of this decision.
The Board also made policy recommendations for Facebook to implement in developing clear, necessary, and proportionate policies that promote public safety and respect freedom of expression.
The suspension of former President Trump was the first time that Facebook had ever blocked a world leader from using its platform. Trump was also banned from Twitter during the week of the Capitol riots. Trump has not yet stated whether he wants to return to either platform.

Another one bites the dust....
The media said Trump had the area around that church cleared so he could have his photo op with his bible....he didn't.
The rest of the scorecard as I can remember now:
They said he colluded with Russia....he didn't but Hillary did with the stupid "dossier"
They said he asked Kemp to find just votes for him....he didn't. Wouldn't know that if the entire recorded conversation hadn't been found.
They said Hunter's laptop wasn't really his and just Russian disinformation....it wasn't. Trump told us that.
They said he was crazy for thinking the CIA had spied on his campaign and administration. Well, he wasn't and they did.
He said there was evidence the Wuhan virus came from that lab in China. Looks like it is going in that direction.
He said we could create a vaccine in less than a year and we did, even while the media told us it would take much, much longer.
They said Russia offered money to anyone killing US troops in Afghanistan and he did nothing about it. Well, they didn't, and the confidence in that intelligence was so low they didn't even share it with him.
Seems like someone becomes more credible every passing day, and it's not the media or the current occupant of the office.
Straw man, debunked, you guys are getting your yanker cranked(or some such nonsense), or “yeah, whatever!”

The ops commander saw Barr coming out of the White House, according to the report. He went over to Barr and told him the area was unsafe. Barr responded by asking why people were still on H Street outside the White House and that he thought it would be cleared by now.
"The USPP operations commander said the Attorney General asked him, 'Are these people still going to be here when POTUS [President of the United States] comes out?' The USPP operations commander told us he had not known until then that the President would be coming out of the White House and into Lafayette Park.
"He said he replied to the Attorney General, 'Are you freaking kidding me?' and then hung his head and walked away."
So Trump wanted the area cleared early, Barr communicated this request. The park police independently decided to clear the area early.
You are right, this has lots of parallels to Russia. Trump wanted it and asked for it and what he asked for was carried out as requested, there was just no coordination or chain of command.
Btw, we all witnessed this interaction between Barr and the ops commander before the police made their move, which is why everyone believed the before-curfew move was orchestrated by the Trump admin. Certainly appears that way, and Trump liked that appearance, else he could have called off or delayed the PR stunt with the upside down Bible.
In business, we call this “influencing without authority”. It is a great way to get things done without risking responsibility or accountability. But easy to claim credit.
