This is not a missive from a dystopian future, but rather a fair reading of the company's recent announcement that it will move forward with creating a supreme court. Facebook will select "judges" from experts around the world with the authority to overturn decisions about what content or accounts are approved or removed from the platform. The court also may help Facebook shape the policies under which those content-moderating decisions are made.
Facebook isn’t calling its court a court anymore, as chief executive Mark Zuckerberg did when he first floated the idea — probably because a firm under scrutiny every day for abusing its colossal power over people around the world does not want to invite comparison to governments.
