Facebook Oversight Board to Review 6 Content Moderation Cases
Facebook’s oversight board will review content moderation cases concerning hate speech, adult content and harmful material on Facebook and Instagram, said the company Tuesday. The cases include violence against French people, cultural disputes, nudity on breast cancer posts, Nazi quotes and COVID-19 information. More than 20,000 cases were referred to the board, which said it prioritized six cases with “potential to affect lots of users around the world.” Five were brought through user appeals, the sixth referred by Facebook. The board seeks comment by Dec. 8 at 8 a.m. EST.
