WHAT IS THE OVERSIGHT BOARD?

As its community grew to more than 2 billion people, it became increasingly clear to the Facebook company that it shouldn’t be making so many decisions about speech and online safety on its own. The Oversight Board was created to help Facebook answer some of the most difficult questions around freedom of expression online: what to take down, what to leave up, and why.

The board uses its independent judgment to support people’s right to free expression and ensure those rights are being adequately respected. The board’s decisions to uphold or reverse Facebook’s content decisions will be binding, meaning Facebook will have to implement them, unless doing so could violate the law.

Now that the inauguration is behind us, these companies are allowing something that at least slightly resembles the Truth to be released.

How nice of them.

“The board uses its independent judgment to support”

...the Current Party Line of the Democrat Party and the Communist Party of China (but I repeat myself).

The Oversight Board overturns Facebook’s decision to remove the content and requires that the post be restored.

Furthermore, the Oversight Board requires that a note of apology be placed on all graves of those who died from Covid-19 because they failed to receive Hydroxychloroquine therapy as a result of Facebook's anti-Trump bias.

Facebook is really, really sorry.

Allow me to boil. down all that FB hogwash.

Orange Man Bad gone. No need to block HCQ. Not sorry we had to kill thousands, because it was worth it.

They were persecuting people for suggesting HCQ as a potential treatment.
