(Reuters) - Facebook Inc's oversight board said on Wednesday that the company did not answer questions about whether its algorithms amplified inflammatory posts by then-U.S. President Donald Trump and contributed to the deadly siege on the Capitol in January.

The board recommended that Facebook review how it might have potentially contributed to the violence and the false narrative of election fraud.
