The Oversight Board ruled that posts expressing a hope for the killing of Venezuelan paramilitary groups do not violate Meta's policies on inciting violence.
This ruling emphasized the limited avenues for free expression in Venezuela and the role of paramilitary groups in violently suppressing dissent following the presidential election.
One Facebook post urging 'kill those damn colectivos' was removed, while an Instagram post that expressed a hope for their death was allowed to remain.
The board's decision highlighted a distinction in Meta's policies between aspirational statements about violence and direct calls to action.
