POST: A Facebook user posted a video showing armed men in Sudan from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) detaining a person in the back of a military vehicle. The video features a man speaking in Arabic identifying himself as an RSF member, claiming capture of a foreign national likely associated with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The video includes derogatory remarks about foreign nationals and leaders supporting the SAF, with a caption stating, 'we know that there are foreigners fighting side by side with the devilish Brotherhood brigades.'
LANGUAGE: Arabic | REGION: North Africa | LOCATION: Sudan
RELEVANT POLICY: Dangerous Individuals and Organizations
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The video relates to the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan between the RSF paramilitary group and the Sudanese Armed Forces, a context involving war crimes and human rights abuses. The RSF is designated by Meta as a dangerous organization. The content includes Arabic language and references to local political and military dynamics, including derogatory remarks about foreign nationals and groups involved in the conflict.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Reasoning: The Board found that the video violated Meta’s Dangerous Organizations and Individuals and Coordinating Harm and Promoting Crime Community Standards.

RELEVANT POLICY: Dangerous Individuals and Organizations

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The posts referenced Nazi Germany and Joseph Goebbels, a historically significant figure known for propaganda.

POST: A Facebook post by a medical trade union in Sri Lanka asked for donations of pharmaceutical drugs and medical products to the country during its financial crisis, providing a link for donations.
LANGUAGE: English | REGION: South Asia | LOCATION: Sri Lanka
RELEVANT POLICY: Regulated goods

[Assistant]
Decision: ESCALATE

Reasoning: The Board found that while the post violated the Restricted Goods and Services Community Standard, applying a scaled 'spirit of the policy' allowance was appropriate given the acute health crisis in Sri Lanka. The allowance aligned with Meta's values and human rights responsibilities by encouraging safety and supporting the human right to health.

LANGUAGE: Spanish | REGION: Latin America | LOCATION: Mexico
RELEVANT POLICY: Regulated goods

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post referenced the Mexican government’s 'Food for Well-Being' strategy promoting wellness chocolate, alongside real shortages of insulin and medical supplies in Mexico, and protests by health workers.

POST: A Facebook user from Peru posted content in Spanish stating that 'we' will hang the then-president of Peru Pedro Castillo, comparing this to the execution of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The post clarified that this was a 'metaphorical' statement, not a threat, and referred to the potential suspension of the president by a legislative vote amidst corruption allegations. The post also included an idiomatic reference comparing the leftist president to Sendero Luminoso, a communist terrorist group from Peru.
