More than 2,300 people and organizations have submitted comments to Facebook and Instagram’s independent Oversight Board on whether the apps should continue allowing the pro-Palestinian phrase “from the river to the sea,” a board spokesperson said. The board, which functions as a quasi appeals court for content moderation on the Meta-owned apps, agreed two weeks ago to consider whether the phrase qualifies as hate speech because some people interpret it as a call for the elimination of Israel.
“While all of our policies are developed with safety in mind, we know they come with global challenges and we regularly seek input from experts outside Meta, including the Oversight Board,” the company said in a statement. “As we’ve said previously, we continually assess our policy guidance to better understand potential impacts on different communities. This work is ongoing, and we look forward to the board’s decision and recommendations,” it said.
