Facebook launched independent oversight

[Ar_Senses]

As NY Times article saying:
“The oversight board will focus on the most challenging content issues for Facebook, including in areas such as hate speech, harassment, and protecting people’s safety and privacy. It will make final and binding decisions on whether specific content should be allowed or removed from Facebook and Instagram (which Facebook owns)”.

 

Here’s the website — Oversightboard.com

What your thoughts on that?

It’ll be interesting to see, who’s gonna decide, will be there any Stage Yellow Spiral Dynamics thinking involved in the decision making, how corrupt it’ll be and which benefits it’ll bring.

Sadly censorship will not work in terms of solving any real issues, it might infact lead to a far greater amplification of the current climate. If people start seeing their conspiracy theories being censored on facebook, they will view facebook as part of the conspiracy and simply find another platform on which these ideas will spread even more easily.

This will lead to a further split of society and a greater division in terms of these information-bubbles forming.

 

Rebel Wisdom made some good videos on this lately. What we need is basically a good journalistic process in which all of these ideas are being tested, or some sort of democratic process in which these ideas are actually confronted. Otherwise a person can just choose to listen to whatever they want, they will find or create platforms on which this is possible.

 

Don't forget, Facebook and similar Social Media platforms are the root of this issue, they are designed in a way such as to exploit the more primitive parts of the human mind, like fear, paranoia, hatred, confrontation and so forth. And now instead of solving the problem they decided to hide from it.
