Surprise, surprise: you're not allowed to make a "board" and call it "Real Facebook Oversight Board" without Facebook's permission.
In the battle between Facebook and journalists, I am increasingly on Facebook's side. The breathlessness of these articles is starting to resemble parody.
- happytoexplain 6y ago>The breathlessness of these articles What do you mean by this?
- leftyted 6y ago"Breathless" can mean exaggerated, over the top, absurd, etc. I was referring to what I see as the silly, overly excited way this article (and others in this genre) is written.
- netsharc 6y agoThe name's kinda stupid, but maybe they were aiming for the Streissand Effect. If they were competent, they would've unveiled the replacement website (already online with the same content, just with the name replaced) within 5 minutes... Call it "zuckwatch.org" or "werewatchingyouzuck.org" or something...
- jtsiskin 6y agoYes they are trying to make FB sound like a big bully, but it’s really reaching. Google wouldn’t want admin@realgoogleoversightboard.com sending out emails. No sympathy here. They can buy a new domain, they weren’t “removed from the internet”
