"The independent board, which will be able to overturn Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decisions on whether individual pieces of content should be allowed on Facebook and Instagram, is a high-profile response to criticism of how the social media company handles problematic content," reports Channel News Asia.

One of the new members is none other than Pamela S. Karlan, an American professor of law at Stanford Law School, who made her name for herself for an anti-Trump rant during the impeachment hearings.

"The Constitution states that there can be no titles of nobility," said Karlan during the rant. "So while the president can name his son Barron, he can't MAKE him a baron."

Melania Trump responded to the attack on Barron, a minor, by telling Karlan she "should be ashamed" of herself. The Trump administration called Karlan's statement "disgusting" and she subsequently apologized.

Karlan also once described herself as a "snarky, bisexual, Jewish women" and was described by the New York Times as a "full-throated, unapologetic liberal torchbearer."
