If you\u2019ve listened to this show, you've probably read a fair number of news stories\u2014and maybe even listened to some podcast episodes\u2014about the Facebook Oversight Board\u2019s recent ruling on the platform\u2019s decision to ban President Trump\u2019s account. The board temporarily allowed Facebook to keep Trump off the platform, but criticized the slapdash way Facebook made that call and provided a long list of recommendations for Facebook to respond to.

Well, now Facebook has responded\u2014announcing that it will ban Trump from the platform for two years. And though the response hasn\u2019t gotten as much coverage as the initial ruling, it\u2019s arguably more important for what it says about both Facebook and the Facebook Oversight Board\u2019s role in the future of content moderation.

This week on the Lawfare Podcast's Arbiters of Truth series on our online information ecosystem, Quinta Jurecic interviewed Lawfare managing editor Jacob Schulz and Arbiters of Truth co-host Evelyn Douek about Facebook\u2019s response to the board. What did Facebook say in addition to its two-year Trump ban? Why is Evelyn grumpy about it? And what\u2019s next for Facebook, the Oversight Board and Trump himself?
