The board will soon determine whether Donald Trump can return to the platform
A member of Facebook’s Oversight Board said the company’s misinformation policies need overhauling in an exclusive interview with the Washington Free Beacon.
“I regard the category of misinformation as being one where we need to be extremely cautious,” Michael McConnell told the Free Beacon. “There are legitimate differences of opinion on lots of matters, and we need to make sure we don’t squelch legitimate disagreement of historical, scientific, or political nature in the name of misinformation.”
The Oversight Board faces increased scrutiny as it prepares to decide whether former president Donald Trump should be allowed back on Facebook. Facebook banned Trump from the platform on Jan. 7, following the Capitol riots. At the time, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the risks of allowing the president to continue using the platform were “simply too great.”
McConnell would not comment on upcoming cases. The Oversight Board is expected to rule on Facebook’s decision in the next two weeks.
The CIA has their hand in Facebook watching everyone… The CIA used to protect Americans now they’ve turned into the Stasi !
Fuckerberg and the rest of these big tech idiots couldn’t carry the great presidents Donald J. Trumps’ dick in a suit case, and just a heads up to people like this idiot and his team….nobody cares. I can promise you the last thing on president Trumps mind is whether or not he’s allowed on facebook. These people in big tech are irrelevant. America knows that and that’s why it will come to a head. More and more patriots are getting sick and tired of facebook, social media, BLM, Antifa, MLB, NBA, NFL, BEN CRUMP, al Sharpton, the idiot celebrities that haven’t a clue how the real world works whom think they are intelligent, it’s gonna boil over and it won’t end well for the blind and the likes of biden and slut harris…To set the record straight this is coming from a 38yr. old man. Young some might say, but old enough to be a decorated combat veteran, a person whom loves America (at least what we can still be), the great president Trump, and the value of a dollar and what hard work rewards!
