Facebook Inc’s FB independent oversight board will announce the final decision regarding Donald Trump’s suspension from Facebook and Instagram on May 5, Reuters reports.
Facebook had blocked Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts over violent unrest concerns after the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot. The case was subsequently transferred to the oversight board.
Previously, the board had extended the public comment period on the case as it received a record of over 9,000 comments.
Facebook had also committed not to restore Trump’s accounts without the board’s approval.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is considering starting his own social media platform.
Price action: FB shares traded lower by 0.66% at $322.92 on the last check Monday.
