1. Facebook has formed an oversight board. This is not a normal board. This board will have the powers to decide what we can see and what we can't. The subsequent tweets will share some details about this OVERSIGHT BOARD
2. In short they are like censor board who will decide on their whims and fancy what is suitable for public.
3. This board constitutes of 20 members globally from various walks of life, lawyers, journalists, activists, academicians with expertise in religious freedom, digital right, civil rights, internet censorship etc. Scary, isn't it
4. The type of people in the board itself will give you an idea what we fear... control with radical leftists. Well that fear is not unfounded
5. Facebook roughly controls over 75% social media traffic globally, which means the Facebook has the power to build narratives, control the conversation
6. What kind of guys are there on this board. It will be nothing less than a shocker to know the type the people who will have the power to decide what to censor, without being accountable
7. 5 out of these 20 are from the US, 3 members from Islamic countries, while only one Hindu from India, who is a left leaning guy. Which means almost 1 billion people have no representation
8. Some of the board members are from Open Society, that was formed by now infamous George Soros, who is promoting radical left movements across the world
9. Most notable is Tawakkol Karman a Nobel Laureate. The way the Nobel is given these days, it as already lost the credibility, and this lady is the case in point
10. She is a pro-islamist with links to Islamic brotherhood linked party, which US govt. thinks, plays a role in supporting a terrorist organization. You can search on google for more info
11. With all the board members that constitute the board, the Right Wing specially in India can rest assure about tough days ahead on Facebook
12. You will be lucky if you are not blocked or banned or forced to delete your content which does not suits their taste or it is fact based anti islamic.
13. while anti Hindu content will be thrust down your throat on a daily basis
14. The lone Hindu Sudhir Krishnaswamy who is on board has got grants from Open Society. In short, the radical leftist, George Soros will get shot in the arm to further his propaganda and ambition
15. We will complain why Indian Right has not got any representation. The question to answer is how many Harvard graduates or Rhodes scholars we have on our side. Answer is 0.
16. Till the time we don't build this capability and promoter meritocracy, we can't do anything but crib.
17. It will be interesting to note how @realDonalTrump’s administration reacts to this board. On the other hand in India @rsprasad may stay clueless until his alarm rings off. Then he may ask for their resignation.
18. Unfortunately, India’s BJP govt, if trying to not be called Hard Right has ended up losing the mantle of being a Nationalist govt too.
The space for a true nationalistic party is now wide open.
