Meta Seeks Oversight Board's Guidance on Moderating Nationality-Based Hate Speech

The independent board will review cases involving posts that label entire nationalities as criminals, aiming to balance free expression with hate speech prevention.

• Meta's Oversight Board is evaluating three cases where posts accused entire nationalities of criminal behavior.
• The cases involve posts on Threads, Facebook, and Instagram targeting Israelis, Russians, Americans, and Indians.
• Meta's automated systems flagged these posts, which were removed for violating hate speech policies.
• The board is soliciting public input on how Meta's policies impact free expression and hate speech.
• This review follows ongoing challenges since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in October.
