The Facebook Oversight Board has a nearly impossible task but, if it succeeds, it’s open to other platforms joini🅘ng its🦩 efforts.
The Facebook Oversight Board has been ca♏lled Facebook’s “Supreme Court” by Mark Zuckerberg. As such, the Oversight Board deals with Facebook’s most challenging issues, reviewing various content moderation decisions to see if the action taken was warranted. The decisions include the upcoming revie﷽w of Facebook’s decision to ban Donald Trump’s account.
The Oversight Board has its sights set higher, including the possibility of serving in that capacity for other platforms. In a conversation hosted by the , via ,🌌 former Prime Minister of Denmark Helle Thorning-Schmidt and current Oversight Board co-chair outlined the possibilityღ.
