The Oversight Board is probing Meta's choice to leave two Facebook posts accessible following their recognition that numerous user complaints exist regarding content purportedly hostile towards migrant communities.
Helle Thorning-Schmidt, co-chair of the board and former Danish prime minister, highlighted how vital it is for them to find an equilibrium between upholding free speech rights while safeguarding at-risk groups from harmful rhetoric.
“The substantial volume of appeals we encounter about immigration content throughout Europe signals there are profound inquiries regarding the firm’s approach towards these sensitive matters, including potential coded language,” she noted via a statement.
One case under review by this entity pertains to an image shared on a Facebook page branded as Poland's far-right coalition Confederation official account—a depiction of Prime Minister Donald Tusk peering through a hole with the silhouette of black individuals approaching behind him, paired with text referencing his political party and EU’s immigration agreement: "Good evening. Did you support Platform? I have brought in the people from the Immigration Agreement."
The terms used within this caption are perceived by some as racially charged language according to Polish standards. The second case examined involves a picture presumably generated with artificial intelligence, posted on a German Facebook platform that presents itself against leftist and green factions—an image of light-haired individual raising her hand in halting motion around symbols such as the stop sign and Germany's flag.
The accompanying text suggests immigrants should cease coming to Germany due to alleged "gang rape experts" arising from Green party’s approach towards migration policy, according to Thorning-Schmidt.
