Facebook has set aside $130 million for its proposed Oversight Board -- the independent "Supreme Court" that will rule on important content decisions. That will keep the board going for the first six years, FB sayshttps://t.co/Ud6lMCbH1l

"Facebook has made an initial commitment of $130 million, which will cover operational costs such as office space, staff and travel expenses, and should allow the board to operate for at least its first two full terms, approximately 6 years." https://t.co/Su2UJ6uIDP

Two big announcements on the FB Oversight Board today:
— Kate Klonick (@Klonick) December 12, 2019
(1) $130M of irrevocable money to the Trust that will support the Board. So that's about 6 years of guaranteed Oversight Board. That's real money. Could have & might have been way less.https://t.co/917JR78SvZ

Of note: @Facebook commissioned a "Human Rights Impact Review" to help it understand how structure its independent oversight board "so that it respects & promotes human rights." https://t.co/MnT8e2Kw3S@BSRnews review & recs: https://t.co/UhMeVMF4Px +100 to transparency & annexes https://t.co/obDIJ7qSeS

Free speech and the free press in a democracy are protected through the diffusion of power. A Facebook Supreme Court w/ $130 million does not solve this problem. Still a single node of failure. https://t.co/KP7wsYxMmG via @WSJ
