New Delhi, Feb 14 : Facebook’s Oversight Board has taken up a new case related to a user’s post that was shared from a Punjabi-language online platform and contained insinuations against Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While the post was initially taken down for violating Facebook’s community guidelines, the social media company later restored the content. The Oversight Board is an independent body set up by Facebook last year to look into hate speech and other undesirable content on the platform. Previously, the Oversight Board had undertaken five cases, including one from India wherein a user had called for violence against French President Emmanuel Macron over a cartoon of Prophet. In that particular case, the Board has overturned Facebook’s decision to remove the content.
