Abstract

This article examines the role of the Meta Oversight Board in regulating content on Facebook and Instagram. The board is an independent body that was created by Meta to review content decisions made by the company. The board has the power to overturn Meta's decisions, and it has issued a number of rulings that have challenged the company's content moderation practices. The article discusses the implications of the board's rulings for the future of content moderation on social media.
