Facebook is spending $130 million to create a 'Supreme Court' that can overrule even CEO Mark Zuckerberg — here's everything we know about it

, Facebook has faced moderation issue after moderation issue across the past few years.

As a solution, Zuckerberg proposed something unheard of among the social media giants of the world: An independent board, separate from Facebook, that users could appeal to directly.Facebook uses a combination of human and computer-based moderation tools to police its service. Algorithms attempt to catch the majority, and tens of thousands of human moderators act as the second line of defense.

As a result, Zuckerberg proposed something that no other social media company has proposed: An independent board, separate from Facebook, that can outright overrule Facebook's own decisions. Most importantly of all: Decisions made by the oversight board outright overrule Facebook itself, and can even overrule Zuckerberg's decisions. "The board's decision will be binding, even if I or anyone at Facebook disagrees with it,"The independent board, Zuckerberg said, would exist "to uphold the principle of giving people a voice while also recognizing the reality of keeping people safe.

Facebook is providing $130 million in startup capital to fund the board for its first six years, and promises to continue funding beyond that.Despite the autonomy of the independent board, and despite it being funded by a separate trust, that trust receives its funding from — who else? — Facebook.
