Well, that’s very worrying…
Remember that it is tech oligarchs _working with governments_ who will be implementing the Great Firewall of Europe.
Facebook also had loads of ex-CIA folk ([literally…](https://www.google.ie/search?q=cia+facebook+moderation)) determining its content policy – and similar types of people will likely be deciding what political speech is allowed here, too.
That sounds a lot like regulatory capture:

That’s just weird. Other bodies have individuals on panels, appointed by the minister. Such as RTB Tribunals and LSRA Disputes Committees. At a guess someone decided the support costs for that kind of structure were too high here and it was “contracted out” like housing inspections. Mediation Institute couldn’t do it and neither could the courts.
Weird decision. Hanlons Razor.
Independent it is not
