I don't like facebook the product, but I think they are being dunked on, too unfairly recently.

However, I'm most amazed and impressed how facebook has created a team -- likely compensated in FB equity -- and then convinced the world that the team is an "oversight board".

The board is not compensated in equity, nor are they employees, nor they can be fired based on their decisions.

The reasons fb gets dunked on (among others) is because people in comment sections are too lazy to spend 10 seconds to Google a bit of research:

Thanks for clarifying.
Their decisions are non binding though. This is probably just a dog and pony show.
On the contrary, I think they're being treated way too lenient.
