Civil society groups urge Meta's Oversight Board to resign in protest
Meta's Oversight Board is coming under new pressure to respond to the company's recent policy changes on fact-checking and moderation, which were made without input from the advisory group. A coalition of civil society organizations has published an open letter to the Oversight Board saying the group should resign en masse as "recent developments make it clear that the company has abandoned any pretense of oversight and acts with no regard as to the consequences."

The letter, which was first reported by The Washington Post, comes from the Global Coalition for Tech Justice, which is made up of more than 250 human and digital rights advocates, fact-checking organizations and other civil society groups from around the world.

According to Reuters, OpenAI may need to invest $500 million to develop the first version of its 3nm chip, and the cost could potentially double as software and peripherals are developed.
