Facebook's content moderation started with outsourced contractors paid a pittance. Now it has a "Supreme Court" of leading intellectuals paid six figures. What a wild evolution expertly told by @Klonick who has had inside access for the past 18 months.https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/inside-the-making-of-facebooks-supreme-court …

I guess we could alternatively call it "The Not-Really-All-That-Supreme Court."

I think we should completely avoid the term, even in the negative. It's an improved content moderation appeal process for the very very narrow slice of cases that get to it.

I don't think you can vouch for what Facebook "HATES" because what they tell you is selective and directed. And what the "public thinks of it" is very much influenced as what it's presented as, and I profoundly disagree with how it is presented in this piece, to be honest.

I don't get calling a slightly improved but very very narrow content moderation appeal process "Supreme Court" under any interpretation whatsoever to be honest, but I bet Facebook *loves* that framing—whatever they told you. I prefer analyzing their interests and actions.
