Company secures operations of its content moderation watchdog with undisclosed additional funding amid role uncertainty.
Meta has committed additional funding to extend its Oversight Board’s operations through 2028. The move follows a prior 2024 agreement guaranteeing at least $30 million annually over three years, though the new amount remains undisclosed.
The board, which issues binding content decisions and policy recommendations for Meta’s platforms, faces an unclear future. Discussions about its expansion beyond Meta and potential collaboration with AI firms remain unresolved, with only partial funding transferred so far.
Meta reaffirmed its practice of referring complex moderation cases to the board, though it has not advanced plans to include AI companies in its scope. Legal changes would be required for such an expansion.
