Facebook will soon name the first members of a new oversight board designed to hold the platform more accountable in its content moderation decisions, the company said as it released a charter governing the fledgling institution
At least 11 individuals, and as many as 40, will ultimately serve on the body to review the company's handling of content takedowns or appeals on Facebook and Instagram, the company said. The charter gives the board power to override Facebook's decisions in specific content cases, and to develop policies to guide Facebook in the future. By the end of the year, Facebook said, it will appoint a handful of outside experts to lead the board and help select the remaining members.
"If someone disagrees with a decision we've made, they can appeal to us first, and soon they will be able to further appeal to this independent board," said Zuckerberg."The board's decision will be binding, even if I or anyone at Facebook disagrees with it."Dozens of experts in governance and digital rights worldwide weighed in on Facebook's plan, the company said, helping to design a structure for the oversight board that will limit Facebook's influence.
