Democrat Impeachment Witness Noah Feldman Behind Idea for Facebook 'Oversight Board'
Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, one of the anti-Trump witnesses at yesterdays impeachment inquiry, is reportedly playing a critical role in Facebooks establishment of its contentoversight board, colloquially dubbed the Facebook Supreme Court.
The oversight board will, among other things, review cases from banned Facebook users who argue that the termination of their accounts was unwarranted.
The purpose, according to the report, is to help Facebook balance competing values that range from supporting free expression to combating hate speech.
Feldman, a professor of constitutional law, was one of the Democrat-selected expert witnesses at this weeks impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump.
Gaetz then pointed out that witness Noah Feldman, professor at Harvard Law School, had written articles entitled: Trumps Wiretap Tweets Raise Risk of Impeachment and Mar-a-Lago Ad Belongs in Impeachment File. Gaetz also noted that Feldman was the subject of an article that said, A Harvard law professor thinks Trump could be impeached over fake news accusations.
Feldman has also suggested that Democrats and liberals should lie about their distaste for Trump voters, by pretending to think Trump voters are rational.
Feldman said that anti-Trump elites should Treat Trump voters as though they were ordinary, rational voters choosing among policy options available to them, by engaging selective memory and acting as though the whole sorry episode of candidacy never occurred.
Speaking to Harvard Law Today, Feldman said he was excited about his role in shaping the policy of a social network with more than 2.3 billion users.
Facebook is undertaking a really bold experiment in borrowing an institution from public law and trying to apply it to the private sector and to social media and the internet.
