(New York Post) The Facebook Oversight Board — a 20-member independent panel that will rule on which posts can be blocked as false or as hate speech or harassment — is a recipe for left-wing censorship.
Sure, there are a few token conservatives, such as Stanford Law prof Michael McConnell. But even he is potentially compromised, since his firm (Wilson Sonsini) represents much of the Silicon Valley corporate elite.
And the majority are clearly prone to view truth through a left-wing lens. Alan Rusbridger, for example, won fame in his days as editor-in-chief of the lefty UK paper The Guardian by publishing the government secrets stolen by Edward Snowden. But he’s a massive fan of silencing dissent from the right of the spectrum.
