Comment Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (Score 1) 32
The block-appeals process sounds pretty ineffectual, if it's being handled by the same people who are doing the blocking. Part of the problem there is that there are clearly people working for Facebook who don't understand the difference between a nude painting and a porn video, or who are so disgusted by a snapshot of two men kissing that they fire off a "BLOCK!" and move on to the next report. If you ask someone equally clueless/bigoted to review that decision (and there's no appeal available to protest their confirmation of that mistake) nothing actually gets better... but the PR pressure is off.
What they need is for these appeals to be treated like customer complaints, that go to the equivalent of Internal Affairs: people who actually want to support free expression, who'll not only say "oops, never mind" when their censors screw up, but also get those people trained/terminated so it happens less often.
