H2 2024 Report on the Oversight Board
DIPERBARUI 27 FEB 2025
by Louise Turner
Today, we are sharing our H2 Bi-Annual Report on the Oversight Board. This is our 13th report on the Board—adding to our catalogue of reports available on the Transparency Center. This report explores the impact of the Oversight Board’s recommendations on Meta and our work with the Board in greater detail. A few highlights from this past report include:
- Granting the Board access to Meta Content Library (MCL)—a powerful tool which enables independent study of key social issues and Meta’s impact on the world—allowing them to publish analyses on the outcomes of its recommendations by using data from MCL.
- Beginning to issue notifications to users who violate certain policies – offering them the opportunity to complete an educational experience about the violated policy instead of receiving an immediate strike that could remain on their account for one year.
- Streamlining our Community Standards for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads into one set of rules.
- Creating an Oversight Board Impact Tracker on our Transparency Center to capture some of the Board’s most influential recommendations and how they have shaped our platforms and our users’ experiences.
The Oversight Board was created in 2020 to help Meta answer some of the most difficult questions we face around freedom of expression online. It has always been an advocate of our community by supporting people’s right to free expression on Meta’s platforms. Its impact is driven by binding decisions and non-binding recommendations on cases that touch on key issues such as global elections, crises and conflicts, and generative AI. The Board receives thousands of public comments, leveraging input from civil society directly into its deliberations.
Over the past 5 years, the Board’s impact has grown tremendously, both on Meta as well as the wider content moderation and platform governance ecosystem. In 2024 alone, the Board published 32 standard decisions, 2 expedited decisions, 19 summary decisions, and 1 PAO. To date, the Board has issued 292 recommendations—80% of which we have committed to implementing or are assessing the feasibility of implementing. Its industry leadership on user empowerment through appeals and free speech also began extending beyond Meta's platforms through the Oversight Board Trust’s creation of Appeals Centre Europe (ACE). ACE is a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body in response to Europe’s Digital Services Act—accepting European user appeals from Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
As the Oversight Board continues to evolve and expand its governance, its partnership with Meta ensures that the values of voice and free expression are enshrined deeply into how we are governed. Through its growing body of decisions, recommendations, and initiatives like ACE, the Board has established itself as a pioneering force in platform governance, setting new standards for accountability and user protection in the digital age.
