Being selective shows this is a farce. You either follow the recommendations or not. All theater. https://twitter.com/...

facebook releases its responses to Facebook Oversight Board decisions. Gerunds doing a lot of work here—very few places where Facebook says it “has done X,” lots of places where they vaguely gesture toward “ing” something https://about.fb.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Today Facebook responded to recommendations made by the Board in its first five case decisions last month. Facebook has accepted most of our recommendations, and agreed to assess how to implement nearly all of the rest. https://about.fb.com/...

I wanted to share more context on some of our responses to the @OversightBoard's non-binding recommendations. We committed to acting on 11 of them, for several we already acted, and for a few we are still examining feasibility. https://about.fb.com/... 1/8

In addition to making binding content decisions, the @OversightBoard also offers recommendations to Facebook. Today we're committing to action a number of the Board's recent recommendations, many of which are centered on transparency. https://twitter.com/...

Glad that @Facebook is taking time to seriously grapple with how to implement the @OversightBoard's recommendations re: increased transparency/redress wrt automated enforcement, public disclosure of names of dangerous organizations and individuals, etc. I'm eager to learn more...…

The total lack of interest in this compared with every other part of the FOB process is hilarious. How Facebook responds to the voluntary recommendations is the most important part of whether this experiment does anything! Not shiny like a trump case tho I guess
