SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � Former President Donald Trump won’t return to Facebook � for now.

The social network’s quasi-independent Oversight Board voted to uphold his ban from the platform after his account was suspended four months ago for inciting violence that led to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

While uploading the suspension, the board faulted Facebook for the way it made the decision, calling it “not appropriate� to suspend him indefinitely. The board says Facebook has six months to reexamine its “arbitrary� penalty.
