Meta Platforms’ Oversight Board announced Tuesday it will review more types of content moderation cases and expedite some decisions, as it aims to expand its work.
The Oversight Board was created in late 2020 to review Facebook and Instagram decisions on taking down or leaving up certain content and make rulings on whether to uphold or overturn the social media company’s actions. Since then, the board has published 35 case decisions, it said in a blog post.
The board, which has 22 members, according to a Reuters report, said it will now begin publishing decisions on some cases on an expedited basis. Rulings could come as quickly as 48 hours after accepting a case, while others could take up to 30 days.
Standard decisions, in which the Oversight Board reviews Meta’s content moderation actions in depth, can take up to 90 days.
Publishing more decisions and increasing the pace will “let us tackle more of the big challenges of content moderation, and respond more quickly in situations with urgent real-world consequences”, the board said in the blog post.
Unlike standard decisions, expedited cases will be reviewed by a panel of board members instead of the full board and will not consider public comments.
The board will also begin publishing summary decisions to analyze cases in which Meta changed its mind about whether to leave up or take down posts. Such cases could help Meta avoid similar mistakes in the future and may be useful for researchers and civil society, the board said.
