JAKARTA The METa Supervisory Board will accelerate its review on Facebook and Instagram for the first time. This review is related to the removal of Israeli-Hamas war content.

With the acceleration of the review, they can make a decision within 48 hours. Shorter than the usual process that takes up to weeks or months.

This independent council will review two cases as representatives of the many public complaints. This case is also considered to affect a number of users, both on Facebook and Instagram.

Meta's first case taken from Facebook was related to Gaza's deleted support upload. An upload showing airstrikes in the Al-Shifa Hospital yard was removed in early November on the grounds of violating violence.

However, this post was restored some time later because the Supervisory Board agreed to consider the case. To date, the post has warned on the screen that the content contains violence.

The next case the board reviewed was a video of an Israeli hostage on Facebook recorded during the October 7 attack. Meta has removed the video because it is considered violent and instigating.

The results of the decisions of the two cases must be obeyed by Meta. The Supervisory Board will later decide whether the content deserves to be on Facebook and Instagram. If the results are appropriate, other similar content should not be removed by Meta.
