Emerging story

On Wednesday, May 5, a ruling from Facebook's Oversight Board came out detailing a continued ban of former president Donald Trump from its platform. According to the Washington Post, the ruling stated that Mr. Trump's comments and postings during the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol “created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible." Shortly thereafter, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, tweeted out that the Supreme Court should overturn the ruling.
