The board,
created by Facebook in response to criticism over its handling of problematic
content, wrote in a tweet that it would announce the decision in the coming
weeks.
Facebook
indefinitely blocked Trump's access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts over
concerns of further violent unrest following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S.
Capitol by his supporters. It later handed the case to the board.
The board, which would usually have 90 days to make a
decision, had been expected to announce its ruling in the coming days.
But the board said its extension of the case's public
comment period meant it needed more time to review the input. The board has
said it had received more than 9,000 comments on the Trump case, more than for
any other case.
