Facebook oversight board to start operating in October

The board is intended to rule on thorny content issues, such as when Facebook or Instagram posts constitute hate speech.

If those tests go to plan, the board said it would start accepting and reviewing appeals from users in mid to late October.

It will start by hearing appeals from users whose content has been taken down by Facebook before expanding to appeals from users who want the company to remove content.
