An independent report commissioned by the new Facebook Oversight Board, which began taking appeals in October, found that it was making "good progress" but still lacked powers to challenge the social media giant's decisions to amplify or bury certain content. The human rights consultancy BSR said Facebook has not yet committed to giving the board oversight of "visibility" decisions such as "promotion or de-prioritisation", as recommended by a previous audit in 2019. BSR found that 17 of its 34 recommendations were on track, with nine more partially met.
