In 2020, Meta (then Facebook) created a quasi-independent, 20 member oversight board with the power to override the company’s decisions around content-moderation. This graphic visualises their major cases and outcomes.

Just FYI, out of 78 cases, the Oversight Board:
: overturned 63 of Meta/Facebook’s moderation decisions (80%)
: upheld 13 cases (16%)
: delivered mixed verdicts in 2 cases (3%)
