Board member and former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said people will agree and disagree with the decision, but hopes it won't be politicized.

podcast she anticipated the board's result would be criticized regardless of the decision.

She said the board was approaching questions such as whether there should be certain limitations for a politician, and whether a person's public profile should be taken into account in the decision-making process. "We will look into all these issues and come back with a decision that I know for sure will be controversial because some will agree, some will disagree.

"Basically it's up to us now to determine whether Trump should be excluded from Facebook forever, or without a set date where he could return," she said. Thorning-Schmidt also said:"We are a very diverse bunch of people on the board, we are very global. We also try to balance the board politically so we come from different parts of the political spectrum. So I really hope that it won't be politicized, but I come from politics so I'm not naive."Former president Donald Trump using his phone in the White House June 18, 2020 in Washington, DC.

I was watching him set up his attack on the US Capitol over here, but if he was doing the same thing on fb, I dont want him back. The 1st amendment surely doesn't provide the right to arrange an attack on the US Capitol via social media. I'll have to check.

ICYMI: It’s ok to be controversial in rejecting controversial Trump. He deserves it.

No it’s not. It makes perfect sense. You have to ban people when they behave like monsters.

I kind of enjoy him not being around.

As if fomenting an insurrection based on a lie isn’t...

So

It's already controversial. 🙄

Way to not be political Facebook

So is his misleading the public and embracing and inciting violence against the nations capital

😂
