(Reuters) - Facebook Inc's oversight board on Wednesday upheld the company's suspension of former U.S. President Donald Trump but said the company was wrong to make the suspension indefinite and gave it six months to determine a "proportionate response."

Trump called the decision and his banning across tech platforms "a total disgrace" and said the companies would "pay a political price."
