Meta‘s Oversight Board overturned Facebook‘s removal of a post critical of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) on Wednesday.

According to the board, the platform was wrong to remove an August 2024 post that superimposed the faces of Harris and Walz onto a 1994 movie poster for Dumb and Dumber, on which the characters are seen pinching each other’s nipples. While Facebook said the post violated its bullying and harassment standard because it included “derogatory sexualized photoshop or drawings,” the user appealed to the board, and Facebook reinstated the post.
