前总统唐纳德·特朗普将继续被禁止脸书就目前而言，脸书监督委员会周三宣布，并补充说脸书必须在未来六个月内审查此事，以确定明确的处罚。
1月7日，脸书宣布，在1月6日国会大厦被围困后，特朗普被无限期地锁定在脸书和Instagram的账户之外，原因是担心他的帖子煽动暴力。
特朗普在一份声明中回应了董事会的裁决，称“什么脸书，推特，和谷歌我的所作所为是我们国家的耻辱和尴尬。美国总统的言论自由被剥夺了，因为激进的左派疯子害怕真相，但真相无论如何都会出来，比以往任何时候都更大更强。我国人民不会支持它!这些腐败的社交媒体公司必须付出政治代价，绝不能再被允许破坏和摧毁我们的选举进程。"
在周三发布的另一份声明中，特朗普再次毫无根据地声称2020年选举中存在欺诈行为。
在六个月内，“脸书必须重新审查其在1月7日实施的任意处罚，并决定适当的处罚。”董事会周三表示。“这种惩罚必须基于违法行为的严重性和未来损害的前景。它还必须符合脸书关于严重违反行为的规则，而这些规则又必须明确、必要和相称。”
该委员会表示:“脸书不允许用户在一段不确定的时间内离开平台，也没有关于何时或是否恢复账户的标准。”。
该委员会声称，脸书给了特朗普的账户“一个模糊的、无标准的处罚”，然后试图通过将“案件提交给委员会解决”来“逃避责任”
“如果脸书决定恢复特朗普的账户，公司应该对该决定适用其规则，包括针对董事会以下政策建议所做的任何更改，”董事会的裁决称。在这种情况下，脸书必须根据其既定的内容政策，及时处理任何进一步的违规行为
作为董事会审查的一部分，特朗普被允许提供一份由美国法律和司法中心代表他提交的声明。
声明否认特朗普的言论导致了国会大厦围攻。“非常清楚的是，在他的演讲中，没有煽动叛乱，没有煽动暴力，也没有以任何方式威胁公共安全”，而且“特朗普的演讲和国会大厦入侵之间完全没有任何严重的联系。”
声明还声称，“所有真正的特朗普政治支持者都是守法的”，入侵“肯定受到了外部力量的影响，最有可能是由外部力量点燃的。”
作为对董事会裁决的回应，脸书表示:“我们现在将考虑董事会的决定，并决定一项明确而适度的行动。与此同时，特朗普的账户仍被暂停。”
“董事会还就我们应该如何改进政策提出了一些建议，”脸书说。“虽然这些建议不具有约束力，但我们积极征求了董事会对我们围绕政治人物的政策的意见，并将仔细审查其建议。”
特朗普的支持者和批评者正在对董事会的决定做出反应。
众议院少数党领袖凯文·麦卡锡在推特上写道，“如果他们能禁止特朗普总统，所有保守派的声音都可能是下一个。”
政府立法机关特德·克鲁兹德州共和党称该委员会的裁决“不光彩”
“对于每一个庆祝特朗普社交媒体禁令的自由主义者来说，如果大科技寡头可以钳制前总统，有什么能阻止他们让你闭嘴?”克鲁兹发微博。
加州民主党众议员亚当·希夫(Adam Schiff)回应道:“利用社交媒体煽动叛乱没有宪法保护。特朗普愿意为自己做任何事，不管对我们国家有多危险。他的弥天大谎让美国付出了高昂的代价。在他停止之前，脸书必须禁止他。也就是说，永远。”
特朗普是1月8日，推特被永久封禁。
特朗普最近告诉美国广播公司新闻，他在社交媒体禁令期间发布的书面声明“比推特优雅得多”。
Trump responds after Facebook ban extended pending additional review
Former PresidentDonald Trumpwill remain banned onFacebookfor now, the Facebook Oversight Board announced Wednesday, adding that Facebook must review the matter in the next six months to determine a defined penalty.
Facebook announced on Jan. 7 that Trump was locked out of his accounts on Facebook and Instagram indefinitely in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol siege, over concerns that his posts were inciting violence.
Trump responded to the board's ruling, saying in a statement, "What Facebook,Twitter, andGooglehave done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country. Free Speech has been taken away from the President of the United States because the Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth, but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever before. The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process."
In a separate statement released on Wednesday, Trump again baselessly claimed there was fraud in the 2020 election.
Within six months, "Facebook must reexamine the arbitrary penalty it imposed on January 7 and decide the appropriate penalty,"the board said Wednesday."This penalty must be based on the gravity of the violation and the prospect of future harm. It must also be consistent with Facebook's rules for severe violations, which must, in turn, be clear, necessary and proportionate."
"It is not permissible for Facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period, with no criteria for when or whether the account will be restored," the board said.
The board claimed that Facebook gave Trump's account "a vague, standardless penalty" and then tried to "avoid its responsibilities" by sending the "case to the Board to resolve."
"If Facebook decides to restore Mr. Trump's accounts, the company should apply its rules to that decision, including any changes made in response to the Board's policy recommendations below," the board's ruling said. "In this scenario, Facebook must address any further violations promptly and in accordance with its established content policies."
As part of the board's examination, Trump was allowed to provide a statement, which was submitted by the American Center for Law and Justice on his behalf.
The statement denies that Trump's comments lead to the Capitol siege. "It is stunningly clear that in his speech there was no call to insurrection, no incitement to violence, and no threat to public safety in any manner," and that there is a "total absence of any serious linkage between the Trump speech and the Capitol building incursion."
The statement also claimed that "all genuine Trump political supporters were law-abiding" and that the incursion was "certainly influenced, and most probably ignited by outside forces."
In response to the board's ruling, Facebook said, "We will now consider the board's decision and determine an action that is clear and proportionate. In the meantime, Mr. Trump's accounts remain suspended."
"The board also made a number of recommendations on how we should improve our policies," Facebook said. "While these recommendations are not binding, we actively sought the board's views on our policies around political figures and will carefully review its recommendations."
Trump's supporters and critics are reacting to the board's decision.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthytweeted, "If they can ban President Trump, all conservative voices could be next."
Sen.Ted Cruz,R-Texas,called the board's ruling "disgraceful."
"For every liberal celebrating Trump’s social media ban, if the Big Tech oligarchs can muzzle the former President, what’s to stop them from silencing you?" Cruz tweeted.
Rep.Adam Schiff, D-Calif., responded, "There's no Constitutional protection for using social media to incite an insurrection.Trump is willing to do anything for himself no matter the danger to our country.His big lies have cost America dearly.And until he stops, Facebook must ban him.Which is to say, forever."
Trump waspermanently banned from Twitter on Jan. 8.
Trump told ABC News recently that the written statements he's been issuing during his social media ban are "so much more elegant than Twitter."
