Meta Oversight Board okays calls for violence against Venezuelan ‘colectivos’
The board said these posts aren’t calls for action.
Meta should allow users to post “aspirational” statements for Venezuelan paramilitary groups to be killed, the Oversight Board ruled in a decision released on Thursday. The second post — an Instagram video in which a woman told men presumed to be members of a colectivo, “Go to hell, I hope they kill you all” — was not removed, because it expressed “a conditional or aspirational statement against a violent actor rather than a call to action,” the board wrote. The board has made similar decisions in the past, allowing users to post calls for violence against certain political actors including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
