Oversight Board members
Oversight Board members are a diverse group of experts and leaders responsible for reviewing and making final decisions on certain content moderation issues on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. They assess whether content complies with community standards, ensuring consistent and fair enforcement. The Board operates independently from the platform’s executive team, providing accountability and transparency. Members typically have backgrounds in law, human rights, technology, or related fields, bringing varied perspectives to complex content decisions. Their role helps balance free expression with moderation to protect users and uphold platform policies.
