Trump Facebook ban fuels grievances while keeping him bottled up


An oversight board created by Facebook announced on May 5 that it was upholding Trump’s suspension from the social media platform following his posts about the Jan 6 riots at the US Capitol. — AFP

Facebook Inc’s decision to keep Donald Trump off the platform for at least another six months provides new grist for his grievances but few places to air them.

The decision leaves Trump without his key pathway to communicate with his voters, raise money and drive media coverage. He issues press releases that get minimal coverage and sits for interviews with conservative television networks, but there’s no longer a direct line between the former president and his supporters.
