Social media giant Facebook, today, announced new enforcement protocols that will be applied to “exceptional cases" like former US President Donald Trump. The company’s announcement comes in response to a directive by its Oversight Board, which criticized Facebook for what it thought was an “inappropriate" ban on Trump. The move also establishes the two-year ban as a measure Facebook will take for severe violations of its policies in future. The Board considered the ruling against Trump last month and supported Facebook’s decision, though it criticized the company for enforcing a ruling that wasn’t in its policies. The Board said it is reviewing the decision Facebook made today and will offer further comment once the review is complete.
