Meta is officially lifting its ban on the Arabic word ‘shaheed’ which translates to ‘martyr’ in English. It’s a word that has accounted for more content removals on the company’s platforms than any other single word or phrase. The company’s oversight board has embarked on a year-long review which led to them finding the social media giant’s approach was ‘overboard.’ In the recommendations, the board said the word ‘shaheed’ should be allowed “in all instances unless the content otherwise violates our policies or is shared with one or more of three signals of violence.” The board is funded by the parent company of Facebook and Instagram but operates independently.
