POST: An Instagram user posted a text-only image carousel consisting of eight images forming a political poem critical of Argentina's government and societal apathy during policy changes affecting vulnerable groups. The poem calls for protest. The second image contained two slurs, "puto" and "trava," referring to gay men and trans women, respectively. Meta's automated system flagged only this second image, which was removed and led to a strike on the user's account. The rest of the carousel remained visible. The user appealed, and after Board review, the removed image was restored.
LANGUAGE: Spanish | REGION: Latin America | LOCATION: Argentina
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post referenced political protests in Argentina ahead of the 2025 elections and used slurs reclaimed in LGBTQIA+ discourse to criticize the government and social apathy. The context of political speech and reclaimed language in Argentina was central to the Board's decision.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Board found the content did not violate the Hateful Conduct policy because the slurs were used in an empowering and awareness-raising context to condemn government policies and social indifference, not to target individuals or groups negatively. The Board emphasized the importance of reviewing the full carousel to understand context and avoid overenforcement.

POST: Two pieces of immigration-related content posted on Facebook ahead of the June 2024 European Parliament elections. The first post is a meme from Poland's far-right political alliance, Confederation, showing Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk looking through a peephole with a Black man behind him, accompanied by a derogatory Polish term 'murzyn' and criticism of the EU migration pact, encouraging votes against uncontrolled immigration. The second post is from a German Facebook page opposing left-leaning groups, featuring an AI-generated image of a blonde woman with a stop gesture and text claiming no more 'gang rape specialists' are needed due to the Green Party's immigration policy, referencing an article about non-German suspects in gang rapes.
LANGUAGE: Polish and German | REGION: Europe | LOCATION: Poland, Germany
RELEVANT POLICY: Hateful Conduct
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The posts were made in the context of the June 2024 European Parliament elections, a period of heightened political sensitivity around immigration in Europe. The Polish post used a term considered derogatory in Polish culture, and the German post referenced local political debates about immigration and crime, reflecting regional tensions and anti-migrant sentiment.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

POST: A verified Lebanese activist posted an Instagram video interview in Arabic where he was asked whether a professional soccer player or Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, is more useful. The activist praised the soccer player and criticized Nasrallah, highlighting Hezbollah's plane hijackings, kidnappings, and Nasrallah's support of unpopular Lebanese politicians Nabih Berri and Michel Aoun. The video included muted clips of Nasrallah, and the caption joked: “Let’s see how many goals Nasrallah can score first.”
LANGUAGE: Arabic | REGION: Middle East | LOCATION: Lebanon, United States
RELEVANT POLICY: Dangerous Individuals and Organizations
COMPLEXITY: MEDIUM

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The case involved Hassan Nasrallah, a politically sensitive figure as Secretary General of Hezbollah, a designated dangerous organization. The post's political commentary and criticism reflect regional tensions in Lebanon and the Middle East, where Hezbollah is a significant actor. The cultural context influenced the Board's consideration of freedom of expression versus policy enforcement.

[Assistant]
Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Oversight Board recommends an exception to Meta's Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Nudity Community Standard to allow videos showing non-sexual child abuse in educational settings when shared to condemn, report, or raise awareness. The Board finds that Meta's current prohibition results in disproportionate restrictions on freedom of expression.

POST: A Facebook user in Latvia posted an image of what appears to be a dead body face down in a street in Bucha, Ukraine, accompanied by Russian text comparing the Russian army in Ukraine to Nazis. The post argues that Soviet soldiers' alleged atrocities in WWII were excused as avenging Nazi crimes, draws parallels between the Nazi army and the Russian army calling the latter 'fascist,' cites alleged atrocities by the Russian army in Ukraine, and ends by quoting the poem 'Kill him!' by Soviet poet Konstantin Simonov, including the lines: 'kill the fascist... Kill him! Kill him! Kill!'

RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post references the historical context of WWII atrocities and Soviet-era poetry, drawing parallels between past and current conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine. The poem quoted is a Soviet cultural artifact used rhetorically to warn against cycles of violence.

POST: A user shared a 17-minute video interview with Professor Manjit Singh, a social activist supporting Punjabi culture, posted by Global Punjab TV. The post included a caption criticizing the Hindu nationalist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that RSS is a new threat and that BJP has moved towards extremism. The user claimed that RSS threatened to kill Sikhs, a minority religious group, referencing the 1984 massacre of Sikhs by Hindu mobs, and alleged that Prime Minister Modi is planning a genocide of Sikhs on advice from RSS President Mohan Bhagwat. The post also mentioned Sikh army regiments warning Modi of their willingness to die protecting Sikh farmers and land in Punjab.

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post referenced sensitive political and religious issues in India, including the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and allegations against the Hindu nationalist RSS and BJP government.

POST: A Facebook user in the Netherlands shared a post including text in Dutch and a 17-second video showing a young child meeting three adults, one dressed as Sinterklaas and two as Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). The two adults portraying Zwarte Piet had their faces painted black (blackface), wore Afro wigs under hats, and colorful renaissance-style clothes. The video included festive music and dialogue referencing the child's hat and looking like an actual Pete.
LANGUAGE: Dutch | REGION: Europe | LOCATION: Netherlands
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The post depicted Zwarte Piet, a Dutch cultural tradition involving blackface, which is widely recognized as a harmful racial stereotype linked to systemic racism in the Netherlands. The tradition is controversial, with documented cases of Black people experiencing discrimination and fear during the Sinterklaas festival. This cultural context was central to the Board's assessment of harm and policy application.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

What is the correct moderation decision? Choose one: ALLOW | REMOVE | ALLOW_WITH_LABEL | ESCALATE | RESTRICT_DISTRIBUTION
Provide your decision and a brief justification.

[Assistant]
Decision: REMOVE

Reasoning: The Board found that blackface is a harmful racial stereotype linked to systemic racism in the Netherlands and that allowing such content would create a discriminatory environment for Black people. While a minority argued for protecting disagreeable content under Facebook's value of 'Voice,' the majority upheld removal due to the documented harm and Facebook's clear policy prohibiting blackface caricatures.

POST: A Facebook user in Colombia posted a cartoon resembling the official crest of the National Police of Colombia, depicting three police officers beating a person lying on the ground with blood beneath their head.

LANGUAGE: Spanish | REGION: Latin America | LOCATION: Colombia
RELEVANT POLICY: Dangerous Individuals and Organizations

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The cartoon is a political critique of the Colombian National Police, a sensitive subject in Colombia due to ongoing issues of police violence and public protests. The cultural and political context heightened the importance of protecting freedom of expression in this case.
