Facebook’s oversight board is widening their authority over the company’s decision making. While the board can only recommend policy decisions, a new change broadens their reach towards that direction.
According to Reuters, users are now able to flag content the platform’s usual moderation staff decide to leave up. The outlet says this change came after strong demand from “social media researchers and rights groups” that the board had a duty to address “misinformation” and other “harmful” content allowed to remain.
The board’s announcement blog post made it clear that if they do rule in this kind of situation, the person who first flagged someone else’s content will have their privacy respected. According to the Facebook company’s remarks on this update, people who report content will get an “Oversight Board Reference ID” that they can pass along if they want to bring it to the border’s attention.
Multiple people can report the same piece of content and make their own individualized cases arguing against it being allowed. But if the oversight board does rule on it, everyone will be updated on that situation all at the same time.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
