May 5 (UPI) -- The Facebook Oversight Board ruled Wednesday that former President Donald Trump will remain banned from the social media platform.
Trump was banned indefinitely from Facebook after the Jan. 6 attack by pro-Trump radicals at the U.S. Capitol and his posts related to the riot. The decision to uphold the ban had been turned over to the Oversight Board, an independent international body of 20 experts who review's the platform's weightier access decisions.
The ban also goes for Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.
The Oversight Board was tasked with reviewing Facebook's decision, which it said was mostly correct.
