Summary

The Facebook Oversight Board may have extended Donald Trump's ban but it also gives the social media company six months to decide on a permanent ban and justify its decision.

FOX's Trey Yingst speaks with Kara Frederick, former NSA Analyst & Tech Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, about the ban on the former president and what goes into the judgments social media companies make.
