Former President Trump's suspension from Facebook and Instagram was upheld on Wednesday, in a decision about as predictable as death, taxes, and the sun rising in the east. After all, why would any social media companies consider providing huge platforms to Trump?

We saw which party they favored during the 2020 presidential campaign with, for example, their surprising outright censoring of the New York Post’s bombshell stories on Hunter Biden’s alleged influence-peddling. The social media giants went so far as to suspend the accounts of those who dared to share the Post’s stories. We also saw it in the campaign contributions of Big Tech giants, which overwhelmingly went to the Biden campaign.

So, when Facebook's Oversight Board ruled that the Trump ban would continue for now, it arguably had less to do with protecting its members from Trump's message and much more to do with protecting their guy in the Oval Office.
