This independent board is literally the first right thing zuckerberg has ever done.
Facebook agrees to accept all their rulings and will listen to policy suggestions. Honestly all social media companies should set up something similar.
This is not the board of directors. I posted an article about it a couple days ago. It is currently made up of twenty people. The board was seeded with a few people who than chose others.
The actual make up of the board is not bad for this project, and as mentioned Facebook will honor their rulings one hundred percent.
I just noticed this. Journalists who don’t know anything about corporate governance are publishing headlines using “Facebook Board” with no clarification.
They may or may not be losing money that would be meaningful to many companies by banning Trump but it’s clearly negligible to FB’s bottom line either way:
Sadly, Facebook is an awesome resource for expat groups, rentals, and info on moving to new cities, so I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully abandon it. Besides those, it seems near useless. Just baby pics and memes from what I’ve been able to tell.
Hey remember when the President called the GA Secretary of State and committed blatant obstruction of justice and god knows what other felonies and for a few weeks lawbros were creaming their shorts about the Fulton County DA or whoever, then that story completely disappeared and nothing ever happened? Cool stuff.
To be fair, their plan did work brilliantly in the short run and they came pretty damn close to winning in 2020. Making the Republican Party a Boomer death cult loyal to a narcissistic 70-something isn’t a winning long-term plan, but it did pay out in the short run.
