Meta's Oversight Board is preparing to evaluate CEO Mark Zuckerberg's significant changes to hate speech policies on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. In January, Zuckerberg initiated a content moderation overhaul aimed at promoting 'more speech,' which also involved the rollback of protections for vulnerable groups such as immigrants and LGBTQ individuals. As part of their assessment, the Oversight Board is reviewing four open cases related to hateful speech, although the board's ability to influence general policy remains limited despite Meta's obligation to follow decisions on specific posts.
