As part of that commitment, we commissioned an independent human rights impact assessment on the role of our services in Myanmar and today we are publishing the findings.

An entity paid by FB to investigate its misconduct is, by definition, not "independent".

Crowd funding, contributions from news organizations, etc.

The ICIJ is probably a good model.
