Wow, Facebook *really* doesn’t like the idea of these people (who include an early-stage investor in Facebook, and someone who worked there and tried to get it to take election interference seriously) Having Public Opinions About Facebook. https://t.co/dfnKRreW43 pic.twitter.com/5VunpTX69j

Facebook is a weapon. A private company, controlled by one man, being used to undermine democracy. We urgently need to hold it to account. Before it’s too late.

Today we launch the Real Facebook Oversight Board @FBoversight to try & do just that. Join ushttps://t.co/j4s5mtMRNe
Bam. While Facebook works to create an oversight board, industry experts formed their own

A group of about 25 experts announced Friday that they have formed a group to analyze and critique Facebook's content moderation decisions. https://t.co/D3cCSYHseR
It seems the main purpose of this mimic Oversight Board is to pressure and embarrass FB, and, in some ways, it's already working. Yesterday, FB said its real board would start operating before the US election. Today this was announced:https://t.co/iWYmyvNiiS

... The "Real Oversight Board" is quoting its own pitch-deck out of context as if it's a Facebook deck?

While Facebook falls behind with the launch of its oversight board, we're spearheading an authoritative group of experts to counter the spin Facebook is putting out.@oliviasolon. #DetoxFacebookhttps://t.co/J2DJg7CvhG
Facinating part of this @oliviasolon piece is how Facebook is trying to get Pierre Omidyar to kill the rival to the alternative Facebook Oversight Board. https://t.co/p0aYW9QEtp pic.twitter.com/BnfrsR8TpX

Like, wtf?!?
— Carole Cadwalladr (@carolecadwalla) September 25, 2020
That’s FACEBOOK intervening on behalf of the Oversight Board that is supposed to be INDEPENDENT.
Read @oliviasolon’s full NBC story. I asked Facebook for comment & they told me they were not prepared to comment ‘either on or off the record’https://t.co/j4s5mtMRNe
So a high-level Facebook official allegedly asked a funder to pull back from a project to monitor Facebook because they are afraid OF THEIR OWN COLLEAGUES. This is a really grim picture of the world's most powerful media company. https://t.co/ib1VnLPUwm pic.twitter.com/1iPa0SBzbQ

Joining this all-star group to push FB to take bolder steps to protect our election & stop the platform from spreading disinformation & hate. I hope the actual Oversight Board will someday have impact, but our election’s in crisis right now; we can’t wait.https://t.co/MwfiqPutaC

Facebook’s hand-picked advisory board won’t be able to make decisions until after content is taken down and won’t be ready for the election. We deserve better.

Facebook's @OversightBoard is little more than a corporate whitewashing exercise.

So, I'm all in favor of efforts to hold Facebook, in general, and the Oversight Board, in particular, accountable.

But I have a few questions for the "The Real Facebook Oversight Board" @FBoversight https://t.co/UCgsfXbzpc
Posit: this might not be a great time to use ‘stunts and viral videos’ to try to undermine part of Facebook’s attempts at maintaining election integrity. https://t.co/V72dIbjuI1

The sluggish Facebook Oversight Board has already said it won't get in gear until around or after the election.
— Bill Grueskin (@BGrueskin) September 25, 2020
So an alternative group has sprung up. And @karaswisher is hosting the 1st meeting.

Facebook critics from Stop Hate for Profit boycott groups like Color of Change, Anti-Defamation League, Roger McNamee, journalists and pundits join up to take on Facebook's Oversight Board citing an 'urgent threat to democracy' ahead of US elections. https://t.co/3iypNRzE6E

1. Facebook forms Oversight Board.

2. Experts, including @shoshanazuboff @mariaressa @rashadrobinson @DerrickNAACP @reedgalen @ruha9 @MarietjeSchaake @IlvesToomas @safiyanoble @moonalice form their own.
3. Facebook tries to kill the project.https://t.co/0j2pWY3Mpy

I initially wrote off creating a second, unauthorized Facebook Oversight Board as a stunt, but the people on this list are simply better versed in the problems this platform creates than the real one.
— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) September 25, 2020
It should be listened to instead of the real one.https://t.co/dmojVdoVoA
The roster of this unauthorized Facebook Oversight Board that launched today is a lot more impressive than the actual Faceboook Oversight Board.
— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) September 25, 2020
It's diverse, forward-thinking and features people who have been actual victims of government censorship.https://t.co/dmojVdoVoA pic.twitter.com/dp8hUKgUcM
