For those updating statuses or posting pictures still on Facebook, you’d know posts that include violence, hate speech or bullying will be taken down
But what if Meta gets it wrong? and content you post isn’t harmful in any way?
The tech giant’s board has now heard over a million appeals over removed posts in the first year of its Meta’s new independent system of appeals.
Most disputed posts originated in the U.S., Canada or Europe, and had largely been removed for harmful content.
Of the 20 cases about which The Oversight Board published decisions, it ruled against Meta 14 times.
One case was about removed images of female breasts in a breast cancer post.
Others featured an image of a dead child alongside text about whether retaliation was justified against China for its treatment of Uighur Muslims, and the decision to ban Donald Trump following the Capitol Hill riots.
About 2,600 cases per day were reported on average.
