Hi All

On the 26-27 March I attended Facebook’s External Oversight Board Workshop in Nairobi.

This is the third round in Facebook’s consultations regarding the setting up of an External Oversight Board, which is to provide oversight of Facebook’s decisions with regards to content.

In the spirit of open consultation I made a podcast covering the workshop: https://cybernyama.net/2019/03/28/facebook-external- oversight-board-workshop/

More information about the External Oversight Board can be found here: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/01/oversight-board/ https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-zuckerberg/a-blueprint-for-content- governance-and-enforcement/10156443129621634/ https://fbnewsroomus.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/draft- charter-oversight-board-for-content-decisions-2.pdf https://fbnewsroomus.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/ oversight-infographic.jpg

What are your thoughts on the External Oversight Board?
