Facebook has come under fire for its role in the Ethiopian conflict, with observers drawing parallels with the company’s role in the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. Facebook’s lack of action was seemingly acknowledged by the Oversight Board. The user who had posted the content appealed the decision, but a second content moderator confirmed that it violated Facebook’s Community Standards. The user then submitted an appeal to the Oversight Board, which agreed to review the case. The Board also criticized Meta’s choice to restore the content in the time before a final decision was made.
