Facebo­ok's oversi­ght board will be able to overtu­rn conten­t modera­tion decisi­ons by Mark Zucker­bergPakistani digital rights advocate, Nighat Dad has been named as member of Facebook’s independent oversight board that can overrule the company’s own content moderation decisions. The board, which is expected to start hearing cases this summer, is planned to grow to about 40 members. I am looking forward to working with my fellow Board Members, who come from all over the world, and to start hearing cases later this year. Hence the oversight board will focus on a small slice of challenging content issues including hate speech and harassment and people’s safety. The board will start work immediately and it would begin hearing cases this summer.
