Om bij te dragen aan de veiligheid van verkiezingen werken we samen met de Nederlandse regering om politieke advertenties zo transparant mogelijk te laten zijn. We zijn dan ook blij de gedragscode voor politieke advertenties samen te ondertekenen. https://t.co/LXUOMp8PON
In the important debate over how to regulate big tech and its use of data, policymakers should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Europe should lead on digital rules, not turn its back on the data-driven services that underpin its economy. (EN: https://t.co/4I5VslF8Dy) https://t.co/WnFzevILSs

The @OversightBoard is the first of its kind: an expert-led independent organisation with the power to impose binding decisions on a private social media company. We welcome any wider observations/recommendations they have around suspensions when the user is a political leader.
The @OversightBoard was established last year to make the final call on some of the most difficult content decisions Facebook makes. It is an independent body and its decisions are binding – they can’t be overruled by anyone at Facebook.
Many are uncomfortable with the idea that tech companies have the power to ban elected leaders. We agree. These decisions should be made according to frameworks agreed by democratically accountable lawmakers. But in the absence of such laws, there are decisions we cannot duck.
Facebook is referring our decision to indefinitely suspend former President Trump’s Facebook & Instagram accounts to the independent @OversightBoard. Today’s announcement does not reinstate his access. We hope & expect the board will confirm our decision. https://t.co/BkhIxWrM8O
