On May 5, Facebook's independent oversight board will make a crucial decision regarding former US President Donald Trump's indefinite suspension from the social media platform and Instagram.
Published on May 3, 2021, the board had extended the public comment period on the case in mid-April, citing an overwhelming response with over 9,000 comments, the most received for any case.
The suspension was imposed by Facebook over concerns of further violent unrest following the January 6 storming of the US Capitol by Trump's supporters.
