I guess its not much of an oversight board then!
The number of accounts under the program versus not I think misses the point. Facebook has separate rules that a privileged few get to play by. So privileged in fact, that their self appointed overseers didn't in fact oversee.
And these board members? What a joke. A kangaroo board. How embarrassing for those board members.
- kfprt 5y agoThe board members were chosen for their placating potential not any governance capacity.
- fatjokes 5y agoNot much of a VIP either! Millions of them... I'm partly joking. Out of billions of users it's still one in thousands.
- obmelvin 5y agoYes, relatively it is a low amount...but at first glance it feels crazy that millions would get VIP status
- amichal 5y ago1/1000 errors/bugs/exceptions are still a big deal in my book! I have a relative who worked in high volume manufacturing. Uncaught errors that could hurt people were still a problem even if they could in theory happen at 10^-7 if you are making billions of something...
- 908B64B197 5y agoMy understanding is that part of the reason these accounts were on a special list is that they were getting reported a lot. For nothing. Like, Doug The Pug might get reported a thousand times per post for animal abuse.
- michaelcampbell 5y ago> I guess its not much of an oversight board then! FB's "oversight boards" are to check a box saying they have oversight boards, nothing more. I have no insider knowledge here, I'm looking at FB as a black box whose insides can only be deduced by the inputs and outputs, mind.
- tremon 5y agoWell, they didn't call it an "oversight" board for nothing...
- ssss11 5y agoOf course, it’s all a charade! One person owns and runs that company regardless of what they tell the media.
