Meta's (Facebook) Oversight Board is seeking public input on recent cases involving the display of South Africa's apartheid-era flag on Facebook. The Board is considering whether displaying such content promotes racial hatred or has public value in raising awareness. Public comments are crucial in shaping Meta's policies on hate speech and content moderation. Submissions are open until 22 October 2024, and can be made anonymously.
This campaign empowers individuals to voice their views on how Meta should handle sensitive content that resonates deeply with South Africa's history. The Board's decisions could influence global standards for digital content moderation.
