Facebook Oversight Board to focus on election, gender, and hate-speech cases

Facebook’s Oversight Board, which oversees its content moderation policies, announced that it would reprioritize to focus on cases involving elections, gender expression, and hate speech.

The Meta Oversight Board announced on Thursday that it was incorporating seven “strategic priorities” while working with stakeholders to change the company’s content moderation focus. The priorities include managing content related to crisis and conflict situations, gender, hate speech against marginalized groups, governmental use of Meta platforms, treating users fairly, and the automated enforcement of policies.
