Posted on 06/04/2021 1:29:38 PM PDT by algore

The purpose of the Oversight Board is to promote free expression by making principled, independent decisions regarding content.

The Board will review a select number of highly emblematic cases.

Each case will be reviewed by a panel of board members, with at least one member from the region.

Whereas membership of the entire board will be public, the composition of individual panels may remain anonymous

What a surprise - it looks like a Benneton ad.

Maybe this board has to go in front of a politically acceptable speech board, board.

Unfortunately it is very real

You have seen the news that Trump is banned for 2 years from the Facebook platform, these are the people who made it so.

or at least a subset of them, with at least one being from the north-american region

Point of contention - these people only control speech on Facebook.

A big platform to be sure but just a fallible company nonetheless.

The internet is designed to end run around this garbage.

Make new social media platforms - even better - get outside and meet up in person with friends and family and leave the virtual world altogether.

Facebook is a hate group—guilty of censorship, a crime against humanity.

yes, only on facebook / instagram so far, but it is a framework for the future of all social media platforms.

Have no doubt that they eventually nearly all search engines and social media platforms will have to have the Oversight stamp of approval

Simply being ON this board makes one an authoritarian terrorist. If a similar board existed and claimed to adjudicate the claims of a cartel in Mexico, everyone knows what would happen.

I sure wouldn’t be a member of a board that claimed the power to decide what free people may, or may not say. I couldn’t stand to live my life, always looking behind me when pumping gas, or being afraid when I see those guys on dirt bikes in traffic.

But whatever.

Like the comics code authority before it.

If they kill the very basic aspect of social media - that is, to share information, they have no product and thus no power to control discourse, let alone the narrative.

It’s why communism never works.
It’s why good men understand time and time again that truth wills out.

With the current Supply Chain issues I don’t think there is enough Rope to complete the Job.

Thank goodness the AMMO supply shortage problem seems to be waning. Should be enough available to take up the slack.

Does his Star Chamber Committee also decide what the Chocolate Ration will be?
