Facebook unveiled plans to set up an independent supreme-court style board that will oversee content moderation issues. The body will consist of 40 part time members, paid by an independent trust funded by Facebook who review decisions relating to content.

Both Facebook and private users will be able to submit cases to the board, and its decisions will be binding, potentially overruling even Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook founder, who first proposed the initiative last year, said it would help address content-related controversies.
