Facebook has released its Community Council application to a select few with permission to moderate material flagged as objectionable. Facebook hasn’t commented on the application, which currently requires an invitation to install on your account.  Eyewitness accounts of the application describe a version of the existing moderation tools which has been made available to the public.

The application’s eight options give us an idea of the intent for the application: spam, acceptable, skip, not English, nudity, drugs, attacking (“direct attacks against public figures”) and violence.

Facebook has also used crowd sourcing in its translation application in an attempt to translate Facebook into other languages (including serious languages and pirate English).
