Facebook created the Oversight Board to help solve its most difficult content moderation decisions. But though the body is often referred to as “Facebook’s Supreme Court,” Facebook executives have suggested that some of their peers could one day benefit from the board’s services, too.
In a 2019 letter outlining “Facebook’s commitment to the Oversight Board,” Mark Zuckerberg hinted that the board’s purview could one day extend beyond just Facebook. “We expect the board will only hear a small number of cases at first, but over time we hope it will expand its scope and potentially include more companies across the industry as well,” he wrote.
The comment drew little attention at the time, but the idea has recently resurfaced. Speaking at a Financial Times event following the board’s decision regarding Donald Trump’s suspension, Facebook’s VP of Global Affairs Nick Clegg also raised the prospect of an industry-wide Oversight Board.
“Who knows, maybe in the future it could either be the germ of an idea that is then taken up in statutory regulation or it could be something that could operate for more companies than just for Facebook,” he said. “I would love to imagine [that] in five years time or so the Oversight Board is able to operate in a way similar to many other social media companies who face very similar dilemmas to us.”

This is very Dangerous stuff.
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

“Who knows, maybe in the future it could either be the germ of an idea”. Germ of an idea, great typo to make because it is so accurate. This, along with ESG (environment, social, governance) scores used to determine investment potential, is one of the reasons you saw so many companies suddenly go “woke”. Basically they are blackmailed to follow along. If you don’t know about these things visit Glen Beck’s site.
Facebook wants ‘other companies’ to use the Oversight Board, too
