Facebook Building a “Supreme Court” re: Content Moderation

I told David this morning that it’s like we’re racing to 1984. If you aren’t concerned, you are clearly not paying attention. This is from 2019, but think about where we are now just a mere nine months later. The encroachment on the First Amendment is seriously concerning.

And how many conservatives will be on it? Zero? One token pseudo-conservative?




Should Facebook take down a doctored video of Nancy Pelosi? Ban a conspiracy theorist like Alex Jones?

These are the kind of content moderation quandaries that have been vexing the world’s largest social network, and after years of controversies and missteps, the company says it can’t make these decisions alone. That’s why Facebook has been building a “Supreme Court” of independent experts that would weigh in on the company’s toughest content moderation decisions — and it’s hope is that it will one day govern decisions across Silicon Valley.

“It’s just going to impact our platforms, but the hope absolutely is that at some point this is going to be an industry-wide body,” said Facebook public policy manager Shaarik Zafar at a panel on free expression online yesterday at the New America Foundation. “At that point you would have some type of consistency across platforms.”
