On Wednesday, Facebook’s advisory board will decide whether to reinstate Trump’s social media accounts, four months after he was barred due to his role in the Capitol riot

On Wednesday, Facebook’s oversight board will decide whether to invite former President Donald Trump to use the social media platform again, four months after barring him due to the Capitol riot.

The oversight board was supposed to report its decision in mid-April, but it was postponed. On Monday, the board extended the deadline even further by stating that its decision would be announced on Wednesday.

It comes after months of debate and indignation about the Silicon Valley behemoth’s suppression of conservative viewpoints and voices.

Since barring Trump, the organization barred him from airing an interview he did with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, which was his first on-camera appearance since leaving office.

Facebook also allowed snippets of his previous interviews and phone interviews to feature on the websites of media outlets such as Fox and CNN.

They have also blocked posts before and during his presidency.

Twitter also barred Trump, saying he incited the riot.

Facebook’s monitoring board has 20 members, five of whom are Americans. The majority are liberals.

The board was formed last year, with the first four members being selected directly by Facebook.

Those original founders then collaborated with the social media behemoth to choose the others. The salaries of the members of the oversight board are paid for by Facebook.

The social media giant was chastised last year after the composition of its board was revealed, with opponents claiming that the so-called ‘politically neutral’ council was stacked with left-wing luminaries such as former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

The commission, which has since been chastised for its slow start and narrow mandate, has yet to decide in any of the first six cases, which vary from hate speech to graphic photos.

Their areas of specialization include academia (there are many professors), leadership, and philanthropy. Some jobs are in the field of human rights.

Twitter has not stated whether or not it would ever allow Trump to re-enter the platform.

Trump has connected with supporters via email blasts from his office after losing his social media accounts.

His children have also used alternative social media platforms, such as Telegram, to share his word.

Here are the Facebook Oversight Board members:
