Additionally, the Oversight Board members only put fifteen hours work a week.

Zuckerberg first shared his Sight board idea in 2018, after consecutive hearings at Congress and tens of scandals. The Oversight Board includes human rights lawyer Afia Asantewaa Asare-Kyei, Nobel laureate Tawakkol Karman, Cato Institute vice president John Samples and Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan. The board runs on a $130 million independent trust.
