>"Nick Clegg, a former deputy prime minister, has shaped the company’s handling of Donald Trump at every turn."
Nick Clegg is a former UK deputy prime minister where his party, the Liberal Democrats were minority partners in a coalition with the Conservative Party. In the following general election his party was annihilated holding only 8 of the 57 seats. He helped push through legislation for increased University Tuition fees. Nick now appears to be one of the curating heavyweights in the world appearing as Zuckerbergs' go-to-guy for high level content moderation advice. It's quite funny that the Facebook Oversight Body effectively said its not their decision. Maybe he should look into other content moderation models instead of trying to just replicate legacy top heavy systems. "The board’s ruling on Mr. Trump tests the argument that Mr. Clegg championed inside Facebook: Instead of taking all the responsibility for moderation, the company should enlist a quasi-judicial board of outside experts to make the final decision. Many have questioned Facebook’s effort to create a global arbiter of speech, including some company employees, arguing in part that it lacks legitimacy because the board is Facebook-funded and stacked with hand-selected representatives. But Mr. Clegg has said that absent rules from governments, Facebook had few good options other than creating a statelike institution of its own."
