The oversight board's job is to determine what kind of content will be on Facebook and its other social media platforms and what content needs to be removed. It will also monitor the content of the advertisement, including posts posted on Facebook and Instagram, Facebook page, Instagram profile, group.
Facebook has appointed 20 special people to this board. They include Alan Russiberger, former editor of The Guardian, a former judge and VP of the European Court of Human Rights. Also involved is former Danish Prime Minister Hale Thoring-Schmidt.

It will be the responsibility of the Oversight Board to resolve the matter within 90 days. However, the board can take a decision on the disputed matter soon but a time limit of 90 days has been fixed for them.
