Following Facebook’s Oversight Board’s decision to uphold former President Donald Trump’s ban from Facebook and Instagram, Republicans reignited calls to revoke Section 230 protections for Big Tech corporations. The Board did, however, say that if a permanent ban is instituted, the company needs to clarify its standards surrounding bans.
“As Facebook suspended Mr. Trump’s accounts ‘indefinitely,’ the company must reassess this penalty,” the Board said, according to a report from The Daily Wire. “It is not permissible for Facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period, with no criteria for when or whether the account will be restored.”
