Meta’s Oversight Board includes Threads under its purview

Meta Platforms’ Oversight Board said on Thursday it would include social media platform Threads under its purview, allowing users to appeal the company’s content moderation decisions.

The board said, in addition to the 130 million people using Threads, Meta will also be able to refer cases about content on the social media platform.

Board members will examine Meta’s content decisions based on Instagram’s community guidelines, which also apply to Threads.

“We believe we can help Threads be more transparent, take a global approach, and respect freedom of expression and other human rights,” the Oversight Board said in a blog post.
