The Oversight Board, also known as Meta, was an initiative approved by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in November 2018, and started its operations officially in October 2020. It’s an independent entity modeled after the U.S. federal judicial system and has been likened to a Supreme Court for Facebook^[1]. The board, comprising members from over 27 countries who speak 29 languages, is tasked with improving fairness in appeals processes, promoting free expression, and enhancing transparency. It also hears appeals from both Facebook and its users, and its decisions have set significant precedents for content moderation on Facebook and Instagram^[2]. The Oversight Board has faced various criticisms and has been closely watched by the public and the media for its influence on Facebook’s content policies.

Meta (then Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg approved the creation of the board in November 2018, shortly after a meeting with Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, who had proposed the creation of a quasi-judiciary on Facebook. Zuckerberg originally described it as a kind of "Supreme Court", given its role in settlement, negotiation, and mediation, including the power to override the company's decisions.

Zuckerberg first announced the idea in November 2018, and, after a period of public consultation, the board's 20 founding members were announced in May 2020. The board officially began its work on October 22, 2020, and issued its first five decisions on January 28, 2021, with four out of the five overturning Facebook's actions with respect to the matters appealed. It has been subject to substantial media speculation and coverage since its announcement, and has remained so following the referral of Facebook's decision to suspend Donald Trump after the 2021 United States Capitol attack.
