Facebook Oversight Board Shows Promise for Content Moderation

Unbiased content moderation has been in the limelight since former U.S. President Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter and Facebook in early January. This action came directly from executives Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg of Twitter and Facebook, respectively. While they were well within their rights to ban Trump, their actions raised the concern that private companies could ban any individual they did not agree with. However, Dorsey and Zuckerberg have no desire to be in control of their platforms in that way.
