Have you noticed that there has been little or no media interest or coverage regarding the selection process or membership of the Oversight Board? The board just appeared one day and its verdicts are now, of course, sacrosanct.
Remember folks:

The purpose of the board is to promote free expression by making principled, independent decisions regarding content on Facebook and Instagram and by issuing recommendations on the relevant Facebook company content policy.

Even before the board made its first decisions, critics speculated that the board would be too strict, too lenient, or otherwise ineffective. In May 2020, Republican Senator Josh Hawley described the board as a "special censorship committee".[53] Other critics expressed doubts that it would be effective, leading to the creation of an unrelated and unaffiliated group of "vocal Facebook critics" calling itself the "Real Facebook Oversight Board".[44] Facebook issued no official comment on the effort, while Slate described it as "a citizen campaign against the board".[6]
