Washington (AFP) -- Facebook said Thursday it would soon open up nominations for a new 40-member oversight panel to make tough decisions on content moderation, saying it would be independent of governments and management of the social networking giant.

A report on the process was released following more than six months of consultations in 88 countries on how to deal with the delicate topics of allowing and removing controversial comments and images.

Let me guess....

30 libs, 5 “moderates”, and 5 normal people.

Majority vote wins.

This has to be breaking a law if it’s slants ALL left, which it will.

Anyone know what that law is?

Anything to do with monopolies?

Or is there no law being broken?

Except the law of decency and dems haven’t cared about that one for decades

Careful Mark.

You will need to make sure that, at a minimum, the panel has a large majority of Trump-Haters. Better yet you should make sure that every single panelist hates Trump and the intensity of that hatred should be an important metric in choosing panel members.

And the leader(s) of the panel must have well established Marxist Credentials. You really have to understandabd and accept Marxist principles if you intend to be an honest judge of fairness.

Just my $.02.
