"Impartial" Facebook oversight board filled with socialists and Marxists

Despite boasting about its purported diversity and inclusivity, the vast majority of Facebook’s “independent oversight board†– a body that has the authority to allow or remove content from the social media platform – have been found to have ties to hedge fund manager and liberal philanthropist George Soros, a new report says. According to the report by conservative investigative journalism portal Real Clear Investigations, 18 of the board’s 20 members either collaborated with or have known ties to civic groups that have received funding from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, an international grantmaking network that primarily focuses on liberal and progressive goals and causes such as racial equality. This contradicts earlier claims by the group, who, in a joint column published in the New York Times, noted that their members include people from different professional, cultural and religious backgrounds, as well as political viewpoints. This claim has been reinforced by liberal mainstream media, which repeatedly touted the board’s “ideologically and geographically diverse†members, whose political leanings “crisscrossed across the ideological spectrum.â€
