Facebook makes another push to shape and define its own oversight
Facebook's head of global spin and policy, former UK deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, will give a speech later today providing more detail of the company's plan to set up an 'independent' external oversight board to which people can appeal content decisions so that Facebook itself is not the sole entity making such decisions. In the speech in Berlin, Clegg will apparently admit to Facebook having made mistakes. Albeit, it would be pretty awkward if he came on stage claiming Facebook is flawless and humanity needs to take a really long hard look at itself.
