For anyone more curious about the oversight board, zuck did a series of podcasts a while ago where he talks about different things concerning Facebook direction. One of them was about his ideas and goals for the oversight board, specifically. It seems like a good idea but I don't trust him to do anything at all in good faith. I got the impression it's Facebook version of shoveling money to Mozilla so you have something to distract regulators with. https://about.fb.com/news/2019/06/mark-challenge-jenny-martinez-noah-feldman/ https://about.fb.com/news/2019/06/mark-challenge-jenny-marti...

- thatguy0900 5y agoCouldn't say. As far as im aware they choose what cases to take up independently. I doubt they have a blank check to just start doing whatever they feel like, though. They still have a mission statement designed by him.
