POST: A Facebook user posted a video related to the 2022 Brazilian elections featuring a Brazilian general calling people to 'hit the streets' and 'go to the National Congress and the Supreme Court.' The video included images of a fire at the Three Powers Plaza in Brasília and text urging people to 'Come to Brasília! Let’s Storm it! Let’s besiege the three powers,' along with slogans questioning the reliability of Brazil’s electronic voting machines.

Decision: REMOVE

Reasoning: The Board found that given the context of the Brazilian elections and the potential for political violence, Meta's decision to leave the content up posed a risk of incitement.

POST: A user in Myanmar posted in a Facebook group in Burmese, including two photographs of a Syrian Kurdish toddler who drowned in 2015. The accompanying text questioned the psychological mindset of Muslims (or Muslim men), criticized the lack of Muslim response to the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China compared to reactions to cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in France, and implied reduced sympathy for the child, suggesting he might have grown up to be an extremist.
LANGUAGE: Burmese | REGION: South Asia | LOCATION: Myanmar, China, France
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The decision considered Myanmar's history of anti-Muslim hate speech and violence, the political sensitivity ahead of Myanmar's 2020 general election, and the commonality of hate speech against Muslim minorities in Myanmar. The Board also noted the linguistic nuances in Burmese that affected interpretation.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Board found that while the post might be offensive, it did not reach the level of hate speech as it did not advocate hatred or incite imminent harm. The post was better understood as commentary on perceived inconsistencies in Muslim reactions to events in France and China, protected under freedom of expression.

POST: Two separate Facebook posts reported on Kenya Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen's speech concerning protestors. The first post, by a user running a political news page, shared a video of Murkomen at a press conference saying, 'We are telling the police, anyone who approaches a police station, shoot him,' with a Swahili caption stating Murkomen was heckled after the remark. The second post, also in Swahili, quoted Murkomen calling for protestors who approach police stations to be shot. Both posts were published in June 2025 amid a government crackdown on protests.

POST: A Facebook page shared a video showing protesters in Colombia marching behind a banner that says “SOS COLOMBIA.” The protesters sing in Spanish, addressing the Colombian president and mentioning a recent tax reform. In their chant, they use a word designated as a slur under Facebook’s Hate Speech Community Standard once, alongside other critical statements about the president. The video is accompanied by text expressing admiration for the protesters.
LANGUAGE: Spanish | REGION: Latin America | LOCATION: Colombia
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: MEDIUM

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The decision referenced the political protests in Colombia and the limited outlets for political expression, highlighting the importance of social media as a platform for political speech in that country. The slur used has specific cultural and linguistic connotations in Spanish, particularly in Colombia.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Reasoning: The Board found that although the post contained a slur violating the Hate Speech standard, the content had significant public interest value due to its political context during widespread protests.

POST: A Facebook user posted a video in Bahasa Indonesia denouncing corruption among Indonesia's National Police. The user referenced a statement by the Chief of the National Police about 'cutting off the head if the tail can't be cleaned,' and used irony to suggest that corrupt lower-level officers had risen to leadership positions. The post included a caption: 'How could a dirty broom clean a dirty floor?' and named specific individuals involved in corruption who had been promoted.
LANGUAGE: Bahasa Indonesia | REGION: Southeast Asia | LOCATION: Indonesia
RELEVANT POLICY: Violence and Incitement
COMPLEXITY: MEDIUM

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post referenced a culturally specific metaphor used by the Chief of the National Police in Indonesia, involving 'cutting off the head' to address corruption, which the user reinterpreted ironically to criticize systemic corruption. Understanding this metaphor and its political context was key to the Board's decision.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Board found that the user's post did not target a particular person or group with threats of violence, but rather highlighted systemic corruption using metaphorical language.
