Facebook Inc.’s Oversight Board has ruled that four of five cases where Facebook had taken down content should be reversed.
Almost a year ago to the day, Facebook announced that it would soon start implementing a third-party review board to oversee its decisions regarding what it removes from the platform, although it wasn’t until December that the first cases were chosen.
Facebook said then that the group of academics, media specialists and human rights advocates, would be tasked with looking at five cases that were of “critical importance,” cases that spanned Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
