The Real Facebook Oversight Board is an entity founded in 2020 by British journalist Carole Cadwalladr,[1] in response to Facebook's announcement of the creation of its Oversight Board to address contentious content decisions made by the company through an independent appellate process.
The "Real Facebook Oversight Board", by contrast, is not affiliated with Facebook, but is composed of "vocal Facebook critics"[2] who have claimed to offer better oversight over Facebook than a board affiliated with the company. Unlike the board formed by the company, this entity has no authority to review decisions made by Facebook personnel.
