Meta Warns Oversight Board Its Funding Could Dry Up After 2028
Meta has signaled to its independent Oversight Board that funding may end after 2028, though a full cut isn't the preferred plan.
Meta has informed members of its independent Oversight Board that the company may pull the plug on funding after 2028, according to sources familiar with the matter reported by Platformer.
The board, which operates as an independent body reviewing Meta's content moderation decisions, now faces an uncertain future. However, sources indicate that completely eliminating all funding is not Meta's preferred outcome.
The situation leaves the Oversight Board in limbo. Meta apparently wants to keep some version of the arrangement alive, but the possibility of a full funding cutoff is now explicitly on the table.
No details have emerged about what alternative funding structures Meta might be considering, or what a scaled-back commitment could look like. For now, the board continues to operate — but with a clear expiration date hovering over the relationship.
