POST: Two Facebook posts containing cartoons about college protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict. The first cartoon depicted two people: one wearing a headband labeled 'Hamas' and holding a weapon, making a violent statement, and the other wearing a T-shirt with a message about wanting to live in peace. The second cartoon showed a family eating together, with the son resembling Adolf Hitler wearing a shirt saying “I [heart] Hamas,” and the father expressing concern about how college changed his son. Both posts were political cartoons posted in the context of protests at U.S. universities.
LANGUAGE: English | REGION: North America | LOCATION: United States
RELEVANT POLICY: Dangerous Individuals and Organizations
COMPLEXITY: MEDIUM

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The posts referenced the Israel-Gaza conflict and protests at U.S. universities, involving sensitive political and historical symbolism such as Hamas and Adolf Hitler, which influenced the context and interpretation of the content.

POST: A video clip posted on Facebook by the administrator of French politician Éric Zemmour's official page, in which Zemmour discusses demographic changes in Europe and Africa. He states that since the start of the 20th century, Africa's population has exploded from a smaller base to 1.5 billion people, while Europe's population has remained roughly the same at around 400 million, shifting the power balance. The post caption in French claims that when there were four Europeans for one African in the 1900s, Europe colonized Africa, but now with four Africans for one European, Africa colonizes Europe. The video is part of a longer interview and does not explicitly mention the Great Replacement Theory, though Zemmour is known for promoting it. The post had about 40,000 views as of January 2024.
LANGUAGE: French | REGION: Europe | LOCATION: Belgium, France, Germany
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post references demographic shifts in Europe and Africa and alludes to the Great Replacement Theory, a politically sensitive and controversial concept in France and Europe. Zemmour is a known far-right figure with prior convictions for inciting racial hatred. The cultural context includes European debates on immigration, race, and identity politics.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Decision: ESCALATE

Reasoning: The Board found that the content did not violate the Hate Speech Community Standard because it did not contain direct attacks on people based on protected characteristics, nor did it include calls for violence or dehumanizing language. The expression was considered protected opinion on immigration, despite its controversial nature and the poster's history. The Board recommended Meta clarify how it distinguishes immigration discussions from harmful speech.

POST: Two Facebook posts were reviewed: 1) An electoral leaflet posted by a Spartans party candidate showing a statement of support from Ilias Kasidiaris, a convicted far-right politician linked to the criminal Golden Dawn party. 2) An image of the logo of the National Party – Greeks, which includes the Greek word for 'Spartans'. Both posts referenced entities designated as Tier 1 hate organizations and individuals under Meta's policy.
LANGUAGE: English | REGION: Europe | LOCATION: Greece, Australia
RELEVANT POLICY: Dangerous Individuals and Organizations
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The cases involved Greek political context, specifically the far-right Golden Dawn party and its offshoots, which have been legally designated as criminal and hate organizations in Greece. The political and legal background, including bans on parties with convicted leaders and the role of Ilias Kasidiaris, was central to the decision.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

POST: A public Facebook page posted an edited version of Disney’s cartoon “The Pied Piper,” with a Croatian caption translated as “The Player from Čavoglave and the rats from Knin.” The video depicts a city overrun by rats, with the city labeled as Knin (a Croatian city) instead of Hamelin. The narrator describes the rats wanting to live in a “pure rat country” and persecuting the people in the city. A piper from the Croatian village of Čavoglave appears, playing a melody that causes the rats to follow him out of the city and disappear. The song commemorates Momčilo Dujić, a Serbian Orthodox priest and WWII Serbian resistance leader. The rats represent ethnic Serbs, and the content is interpreted as dehumanizing and hateful towards this group.
LANGUAGE: Croatian | REGION: Europe | LOCATION: Croatia
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post references the Croatian city of Knin and the village of Čavoglave, with historical allusions to Momčilo Dujić, a Serbian Orthodox priest and WWII resistance leader. The content uses a culturally specific edited cartoon to implicitly depict ethnic Serbs as rats, a dehumanizing trope with significant historical and ethnic tensions in the region.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Provide your decision and a brief justification.

[Assistant]
Decision: REMOVE

Reasoning: The Board found that the content violated Facebook’s Hate Speech and Violence and Incitement Community Standards because it dehumanizes ethnic Serbs by comparing them to rats and celebrates discriminatory treatment against them. Despite Meta’s initial interpretation that the post did not violate policy, the Board determined that the implicit comparison and historical context made the content hateful and harmful.

RELEVANT POLICY: Manipulated Media, Bullying and harassment, Hate speech

POST: Two Facebook posts were reviewed: The first post showed a photo of a white male soldier holding South Africa’s 1928-1994 apartheid-era flag with a caption urging others to share if they 'served under this flag.' The second post contained stock photos from the apartheid era, including the former flag, white children next to a black man on an ice cream bicycle, a whites-only beach, and a toy gun, with a caption nostalgically referring to 'the good old days' and emojis suggesting a coded message. Both posts were reported for hate speech but were determined by Meta not to violate Community Standards.
LANGUAGE: English | REGION: Africa | LOCATION: South Africa
RELEVANT POLICY: Hateful Conduct
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The posts referenced South Africa's apartheid-era flag, a highly sensitive and historically significant symbol associated with racial segregation and oppression. The timing before South Africa’s 2024 general elections and the use of nostalgic imagery and coded language added complexity to the interpretation of the posts' intent and impact.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

[Assistant]
Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The majority of the Board found that neither post clearly advocates for exclusion, segregation, or violence and thus does not violate the Hateful Conduct policy. Although the apartheid-era flag is a symbol of racial segregation, the posts did not meet the threshold for removal as they did not explicitly call for discriminatory actions.
