As content will be live on Facebook and Instagram, many people may report the same piece of content. The post contains a caption sharing that one of the individuals has a date for top surgery accompanied with hashtags associated with the LGBTQ+ community. The content eligible for review includes posts, status updates, photos, videos, comments, and shares. Today, the Oversight Board selected a caseappealed by an Instagram user regarding a photo of a topless couple in a pond with their nipples covered by bandages. Therefore, starting today with an expanding roll out over the coming weeks, after an individual has exhausted Facebook’s appeals process, they will receive an Oversight Board Reference ID and can formally appeal for independent review. Since the Board became operational, Facebook has worked to design, build and test the technical functionality to enable people to appeal to remove content posted by a third-party, whilst ensuring their privacy is protected. “They argued the content included caricatures which are linked to racist stereotypes and are considered by parts of Dutch society to sustain systemic racism in the Netherlands,” reads a report from the Oversight Board. The Board says that it upheld Facebook’s decision after it was determined that there was sufficient evidence of harm to justify the removal. As content will be live on Facebook and Instagram, many people will be able to report the same piece of content.
Moreover, the Board’s most recent decision was issued to Facebook today (April 13), on a case from Holland, where the platform removed a video showing a child meeting adults with their faces painted black, with attire to showcase ‘Zwarte Piet’ also known as Black Pete. After you have exhausted Facebook’s appeals process, you will receive an Oversight Board Reference ID and can appeal the decision to the Board. The Board adds that since Q4 2020, users have been able to appeal to it about their own content being removed.
