This upcoming Wednesday will determine whether or not Facebook reverses its ban or keeps the ban in place as Twitter has. The Facebook Oversight Board, thus far, is a recipient of many reactions to the current ban of the former president. Some people are all for it; meanwhile, others have concerns about social media’s power to shut down dissenting views and voices.
Many conservatives view the Facebook Oversight Board as biased in favor of leftism and therefore unlikely to reinstate the former president’s account.
Does Trump truly need Facebook?
Last month, aides to the former president announced that he will launch his own social media platform later this year.
Moreover, Trump remains active on Gab, in interviews, and through various press releases. The former president also now has a website that supporters can use to contact him, send messages, and even request his presence at events.
Parler, a conservative alternative to Twitter, is likewise another site that Trump can join to keep in touch with supporters; however, the former president does not have an account on the website thus far.
