Meta's recent announcement of content moderation changes has drawn significant criticism from its oversight board for being made hastily, without adequate consideration of human rights impacts. Amidst controversies related to anti-Muslim and anti-migrant posts during UK riots, the board highlighted a failure to conduct proper human rights due diligence. Meta’s move to reduce fact-checking and potentially increase political content could have serious global implications, particularly in areas facing crises. The board emphasized the importance of evaluating these changes to uphold commitments to human rights principles.
The Metaverse's oversight board criticized the recent moderation changes as hasty, highlighting the need for comprehensive human rights assessments before policy alterations.
