Meta Oversight Board says Israel-Hamas videos should not have been removed

Meta’s Oversight Board says Meta erred in removing two Israel-Hamas war videos as they were valuable to understanding human suffering, its first expedited cases. “In both cases, the Board overturned Meta’s original decision to remove the content from its platforms but approved the company’s subsequent decision to restore the posts with a warning screen,” the Oversight Board said, while urging Meta to “respond more quickly to changing circumstances on the ground, which affect the balance between the values of voice and safety.”
