Källor: Meta kan stänga ner sitt tillsynsråd
Facebooks ägarbolag Meta överväger att lägga ner sitt tillsynsråd, uppger källor för Plattformer.
Rådet, som finansieras av Meta men har till uppgift att granska bolagets agerande ur moralisk synpunkt, har fått mindre och mindre pengar de senaste åren.
Enligt tidningen pågår just nu förhandlingar om att lägga ner rådet till 2028 eller låta det drivas vidare med annan finansiering.
Metas tillsynsråd

The Oversight Board is a body that makes consequential precedent-setting content moderation decisions on the social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, in a form of "platform self-governance".
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.
