I would argue that if their board is not ideologically and geographically diverse that there can be nothing even close to resembling neutrality. That being said

I would argue that if their board is not ideologically and geographically diverse that there can be nothing even close to resembling neutrality. That being said, I think moderating for anything other than abusive or illegal statements on a platform as large as Facebook is a Sisyphean task.
- oh_sigh 6y agoYou can look at their board on their site - it is people from all over the world, with a variety of professions.
- chrisco255 6y agoYeah, how many blue collar auto mechanics do they have on the board? Sailors, construction workers, firefighters, etc? How many ex-patriates of communist countries do they have on the board? How many moms with no college degree are on the board? How many Vietnam vets are on the board? It's a stacked list of academics. Academia is a subculture in and of itself that is not in any way reflective of the world at large.
- maxerickson 6y agoModerating any content on a platform as large as Facebook is going to by Sisyphean. 'Abusive' requires definition to be worth discussing. I consider lies abusive in the context of politics, for instance.
