Oversight Board reviews posts on UK riots, assessing Meta's content moderation on hate speech.

The Oversight Board is reviewing three posts related to the UK summer riots that followed a knife attack in Southport, where misinformation about the attacker spread on social media. The board will assess if Meta's content moderation decisions complied with hate speech and incitement policies. Meta has removed one post, citing a previous mistake, while keeping the other two. The board will seek public comments and may issue policy recommendations to Meta, which must respond within 60 days.
