POST: An Instagram user in Nigeria posted a video showing motionless, bloodied bodies on the floor, depicting the aftermath of a terrorist attack on a church in southwest Nigeria where at least 40 people were killed. The post included prayers and statements about safety, and later a caption describing the incident as 'sad' with multiple hashtags referencing firearms collectors, gunfire sounds, and the live-action game 'airsoft'.

RELEVANT POLICY: Violent and Graphic Content
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The decision considered the ongoing terrorist attacks in Nigeria and government suppression of coverage, highlighting the importance of freedom of expression in this context. The hashtags referencing firearms and gunfire had cultural significance related to local conflict and security issues.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

POST: A user posted an image on Facebook of a Korean poem titled 'The Scream of General Hong Beom-Do' by Lee Dong Soon. The poem criticizes the authorities' attempt to relocate the bust of General Hong Beom-Do and includes the term 'wae-nom' (왜놈), historically used by Koreans to refer to Japanese invaders and often considered a derogatory term. The poem artistically expresses the general's sentiment regarding the relocation proposal during a politically sensitive period involving ideological conflict over the bust's placement.
LANGUAGE: Korean | REGION: East Asia | LOCATION: Japan, South Korea
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The term 'wae-nom' has a complex historical and cultural significance in Korea, originally referring to Japanese invaders during the Japanese occupation. Its use in the poem relates to historical grievances and nationalist sentiment surrounding General Hong Beom-Do, a Korean independence figure. The political controversy over relocating his bust amid ideological conflicts further contextualizes the poem's content.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Board found that the term 'wae-nom' was used descriptively to refer to Japanese soldiers as invaders rather than as a curse word intended to insult. Therefore, the content did not violate the Hate Speech Community Standard, and Meta's removal was incorrect.

POST: Two Instagram posts raising awareness about eating disorders during Eating Disorders Awareness Week. The first post was a photo carousel with personal account of experiencing an eating disorder, educational intent, and gratitude for support. The second post was a photo carousel with images including text advising on how to talk about people perceived as skinny or underweight, cautioning against guessing clothing size or commenting on wasting away. Both used awareness-raising hashtags and were shared in 2023 and 2025.
LANGUAGE: English | REGION: North America | LOCATION: United States
RELEVANT POLICY: Suicide and self injury

POST: Four users posted graphic content in an awareness-raising context. The first Facebook post showed a video of an individual holding a bucket of water near people with visible burn injuries after a gas truck explosion in Mexico City, with audio explaining the risks of pouring water on burns. The second Facebook post showed injured victims from the same explosion, including some naked victims, with the video darkening to obscure nudity. The third Facebook post depicted a person with a cut throat crawling from captivity to Ukrainian positions, highlighting evidence of torture and human rights violations. The fourth Instagram post also contained graphic content related to news events, safety, and war and conflict.

POST: A video posted by a Cuban news platform on Instagram showing a woman calling for protests against the Cuban government. The woman calls on other women to join her on the streets and criticizes Cuban men by comparing them to animals culturally perceived as inferior, such as "rats" and "mares" carrying urinal pots, for failing to defend those repressed by the government. The video includes a caption with hashtags referring to the "dictatorship" and "regime" in Cuba and calls for international attention using #SOSCuba. The video was posted around the anniversary of nationwide protests in July 2021 and shortly after a young Cuban man was killed in a police incident. The woman references this by saying "we cannot keep allowing the killing of our sons."
LANGUAGE: Spanish | REGION: Latin America | LOCATION: Cuba
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The video was posted in the context of ongoing political repression in Cuba following nationwide protests in July 2021 and a recent police killing of a young Cuban man. The woman’s language reflects cultural expressions of frustration and a call to action within a repressive political environment where freedom of expression and assembly are limited. The Board considered these cultural and political factors critical to their decision.

The Board emphasized the importance of protecting users' voices during political protests under Meta’s Hate Speech Community Standard.

POST: This is a policy advisory opinion examining the potential human rights impacts of expanding the community notes program outside of the United States. It discusses the benefits of community notes in enhancing freedom of expression and improving online discourse, as well as the risks such as abuse by coordinated disinformation networks and marginalization of minority groups. The opinion recommends criteria for Meta to consider when deciding which countries to omit from the expansion and calls for ongoing data gathering and assessment of the program's functionality.
LANGUAGE: English | REGION: North America | LOCATION: United States
RELEVANT POLICY: Community Standards - Misinformation

POST: Three posts from three different Turkish media organizations, each containing a similar video showing a former Member of Parliament confronting Istanbul’s Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, a key opposition figure, in public. The former MP calls İmamoğlu a “servant of the British” (İngiliz uşağı) and accuses him of showing off and tells him to return to his own city. The posts were removed by Meta for violating the Hate Speech policy due to the use of the term “İngiliz uşağı.”
LANGUAGE: Turkish | REGION: Middle East | LOCATION: Turkey
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: HIGH

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The term “İngiliz uşağı” is a culturally specific phrase in Turkish understood to mean someone acting in the interests of Britain or the West, not a direct hate speech slur. The context involved political tensions ahead of Turkish elections and the aftermath of significant earthquakes, making the reporting newsworthy.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

[Assistant]
Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Board found that the term “İngiliz uşağı” is not hate speech under Meta’s policies and that removing the posts was an unnecessary and disproportionate restriction on media freedom and public access to information. The Board also noted Meta’s failure to apply the public newsworthiness allowance and recommended an exception for permissible reporting on slurs.

POST: Two Instagram posts from a user in Sweden condemned gender-based violence. The first post included a video with audio and transcription of a woman describing her experience in a violent intimate relationship, highlighting victim blaming and the difficulty women face leaving violent partners. The caption stated, “men murder, rape and abuse women mentally and physically – all the time, every day,” shared support organization information, and referenced the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The second post featured a woman stating she is a man-hater for condemning misogyny and that her hatred is rooted in fear of violence, clarifying she does not hate all men.
LANGUAGE: Swedish | REGION: Europe | LOCATION: Sweden
RELEVANT POLICY: Hate Speech
COMPLEXITY: MEDIUM

CULTURAL CONTEXT: The decision referenced ongoing digital campaigns in Sweden and internationally where phrases highlighting gender-based violence are often removed under hate speech policies, reflecting tensions around feminist activism and hate speech enforcement.
⚑ Cultural context played a significant role in this case.

Decision: ALLOW

Reasoning: The Board found that the first post's statement was a qualified condemnation of gender-based violence and did not violate Hate Speech policy. The second post's expression of man-hatred as a response to misogyny was also not found to breach the policy. The Board emphasized the importance of allowing content that condemns or raises awareness of gender-based violence.
