Republicans in Congress told Facebook’s oversight board that the social media company’s suspension of former President Donald Trump is an example of uneven deplatforming standards.
Top House GOP members, including Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), told the board in a letter that they see violent speech published from all parts of the political spectrum on social media platforms, including Facebook, pointing to calls for the murder of police officers from the far-left Antifa network and a top Iranian official promising violence against the United States.
