If I really gave a hoot about them I'd tune in to Bullshit Mountain BKA Faus News* in time to see them blame the "radical soci@list commie Democrats" in their march to cancel free speech. That is if I gave a shit

Ruling is only binding for six months and FB has to report back to them on why they banned him in the first place. This could get quite interesting.

Quote:
“The practical effect of this decision will be that Facebook — and possibly other platforms that might have been watching the Oversight Board for unofficial guidance — will have to continue to grapple themselves with the problem of what to do about political leaders who abuse social media to spread lies and incite violence,” wrote Paul Barrett, deputy director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, in a statement.

So the former Criminal in Chief responds to the upholding of his ban from Facebook for lying by lying more.

Billy Barr - corrupt as J Edgar.
