WASHINGTON, D.C. - Facebook Inc will allow a new outside oversight board to make final decisions on whether individual pieces of content can be displayed on the social media site, but the group won’t be able to make policy changes, the company said on Tuesday.
The social media giant, which has about 2.4 billion monthly users, is moving to take down objectionable photos and videos after longstanding criticism for doing too little to combat hate speech, cyber bullying, and other content that violates the site’s “community standards.” “The board’s decision will be binding, even if I or anyone at Facebook disagrees with it,” Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement, referring to calls on specific content, such as photos and videos.While the new board cannot make policy, the company will be required to respond publicly to any recommendations the board makes.
Facebook said it expects to announce some members by the end of the year and that the board should start hearing cases in early 2020.
