Facebook on May 6 announced the first members of its oversight board, which it says will be an independent body that can overturn the company’s own content-moderation decisions.
In a press release, the social media and technology company, which has more than 2 billion users, said the members “reflect a wide range of views and experiences,” have lived in more than 27 countries, “speak at least 29 languages, and are all committed to the mission of the Oversight Board.”
