Meta Oversight Board rules "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" phrase not hate speech on Facebook.
The Meta Oversight Board ruled that the phrase "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" does not constitute hate speech, allowing its use on Facebook. The board noted that the slogan can have various interpretations, emphasizing that it should not be banned unless accompanied by violent or hateful context. This decision contrasts with the Anti-Defamation League's view, which sees the phrase as antisemitic. The board also recommended improved hate speech tracking and data access.
