Hate content: Facebook’s Oversight Board takes up case from India

NEW DELHI: An independent board set up by Facebook to look into hate and other undesirable content on the platform has taken up a case from India wherein a user had called for violence against French President Emmanuel Macron over a cartoon of Prophet.

In a statement on Thursday, the Oversight Board said it has selected an additional case for consideration, which had been referred by Facebook.

Facebook has already removed the particular content that displayed a sword and hate messages, and now the Board will review the matter.
