From ReclaimTheNet.org….
Facebook now broadens the scope of its “Oversight Board” – which is more or less the Big Tech platform’s equivalent to a Supreme Court.
Until now, users could reach out to the Oversight Board to restore posts that were taken down by the site’s moderators.
But with the latest update and expansion of the Oversight Board’s capabilities, users can now appeal against posts that were once reviewed and allowed to remain on the platform by Facebook moderators.
The Oversight Board currently comprises 20 individuals and is set to expand to 40 in the near future. Some of the noteworthy individuals on the Oversight Board include a former prime minister of Denmark and a former Guardian editor. Other members of the board are from the law, academia, and media backgrounds. They will all be tasked with hearing the appeals on both Instagram and Facebook posts.
