Facebook’s Oversight Board Takes on the Curious Case of Donald J. Trump
Abstract
Facebook announced last week that it would refer the question of its decision to remove Donald Trump from its platforms to the Oversight Board. The case concerning the former President’s account marks a notable departure from the approach through the initial slate of Oversight Board cases announced in December and resolved this month. The decision the Board takes — which will be binding, Facebook says — could have major implications for the future of platform governance. But it may also force Facebook to reckon with its past.
