Meta Platforms Inc. has briefed its oversight board on how the company is responding to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The board said in a tweet.

“A critical part of ensuring free expression and human rights online is to have content policies and enforcement that recognize the context in which speech is shared.”

The oversight board reviews Meta’s approach to content moderation

The statement follows Reuters reporting that Meta is making exceptions to its rules around violent speech to allow certain calls for harm to Russian soldiers and others when the context involves the Ukraine invasion.

In an earlier report, Reuters had stated Meta Platforms will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in a temporary change to its hate speech policy.

Most western media outlets, including American tech and social media companies, have either stopped or limited their operations in Russia after Moscow sent its army into Ukraine.
