Meta oversight board to examine Israel-Hamas war content

Economic Times · 1y

Meta's independent Oversight Board will review how the company handled violent content related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The board will utilize a new expedited review mechanism to make decisions within 30 days. Social media platforms have been inundated with violent, misleading content during the conflict. One case involves the removal and restoration of a video on Instagram showing the aftermath of an explosion at a Gaza hospital. The other case involves a video on Facebook showing a woman being kidnapped. Meta welcomes the board's review and commits to implementing its decisions.
