Description

Facebook’s Oversight Board, otherwise known as Facebook’s supreme court, could soon come back with a decision on whether or not to reverse Trump’s ban from using Facebook. The Oversight Board was created in 2019 to review appeals around free speech.

Plus, the Fornite fight with Apple.

And, the push to remember the Tulsa massacre 100 years later.


Guests: Harvard University constitutional law professor Noah Feldman and Axios' Ina Fried and Russell Contreras.
