Meta’s Oversight Board has reversed both the initial and first appeal decisions made by the company regarding a contentious post on its Threads app. The post in question was a reply to a Threads post about Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and a tax fraud scandal. The user’s reply, which translates into English as “drop dead/die” was originally removed under Meta’s Violence and Incitement rules. The Board encourages Meta to make these changes to protect free speech while ensuring safety. You can read the Board’s full decision here: https://t.co/2Gf9Z0hBGD — Oversight Board (@OversightBoard) September 10, 2024 However, the board concluded that the removal was “neither necessary nor consistent with Meta’s human rights responsibilities,” adding that the phrase was used figuratively rather than as a literal threat of violence. The controversial post dates back to January 2024, focusing on alleged fundraising irregularities tied to Kishida’s party.
