Meta's Oversight Board criticized the company's failure to remove a video showing abuse against two gay men in Nigeria, which violated multiple community standards.
The video showed coerced admissions of sexuality under violent duress, and remained online for five months despite clearly breaching rules on hate speech and violent content.
Meta cited failures in its automated language detection system, which misidentified Igbo as English and later as Swahili, allowing harmful content to persist.
The context of this incident highlights the extreme dangers faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Nigeria, where legal and social structures enable severe discrimination and violence.
