This is the best summary I could come up with:
The board, which functions as a quasi appeals court for content moderation on the Meta-owned apps, agreed two weeks ago to consider whether the phrase qualifies as hate speech because some people interpret it as a call for the elimination of Israel.
Only the case related to former President Donald Trump, whose accounts on Facebook and Instagram were suspended after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, received more feedback, with 9,666 people and organizations weighing in then.
A spokesperson for the Oversight Board said in a statement: “Conflicts create unique content moderation challenges for social media platforms, where these situations are heavily debated, protested and reported on.
They include law professors, former government officials, journalists and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Tawakkol Karman of Yemen.
“While all of our policies are developed with safety in mind, we know they come with global challenges and we regularly seek input from experts outside Meta, including the Oversight Board,” the company said in a statement.
Some human rights advocates have accused the company of censoring pro-Palestinian voices, while Instagram in particular has been a go-to platform for many Palestinian journalists and photographers.
