FILE PHOTO: The logo of Meta Platforms' business group is seen in Brussels, Belgium December 6, 2022. REUTERS/Yves Herman/File PhotoMeta Platforms said on Tuesday it would lift its blanket ban on the word"shaheed", or"martyr" in English, after a year-long review by its oversight board found the social media giant's approach was"overbroad".
The company has been criticized for years over its handling of content involving the Middle East, including in a 2021 study Meta itself commissioned that found its approach had an"adverse human rights impact" on Palestinians and other Arabic-speaking users of its services.
Meta acknowledged the findings of the review on Tuesday and said its tests showed that removing content when"shaheed" was"paired with otherwise violating content captures the most potentially harmful content without disproportionally impacting the voice". The oversight board welcomed the change, saying Meta's policy related to the word had led to the censoring of millions of people across its platforms.
