the defining Internet policy concerns of our time.

Last year, Facebook set up the Oversight Board as an independent body to
review its content moderation decisions and make binding judgments about
its policies. Described by Mark Zuckerberg as Facebook’s “Supreme Court,”
the Board has rendered its first set of decisions and is now poised to
consider one of the most significant questions in the world: should Donald
Trump’s Facebook account remain suspended due to incitements leading to the
January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol, or should Trump be allowed back
on the platform to reconnect with his millions of followers?
