JAKARTA Not all announcements or posts from the Taliban that have been fought by the US mean badly. There are also their announcements and statements that are positive and support individual and human rights freedoms.
The independent Supervisory Board Meta Platforms Inc announced on Thursday, September 15 that Facebook should not remove newspaper reports about the Taliban deemed positive for user freedom of expression. Instead, they say technology companies are too dependent on automated moderation.
Meta found posts about the Taliban announcing that schools and universities in Afghanistan for women and girls will reopen in March, deemed to have violated Facebook's policy of "testing" entities deemed "engaged in serious offline danger".
according to the Supervisory Board, Meta Platform Inc., restricts the newspaper's access to certain Facebook features after deleting the post. The newspaper ultimately appealed the decision after which the post was referred to a special moderation queue, but so far it has never been reviewed,
The Supervisory Board said Meta's decision to delete posts was inconsistent with Facebook's policies because it allowed reporting on such organizations, and the company reversed its decision after the council voted on the case.
"The board argues that Meta should protect users' freedom of expression better when it comes to reporting terrorist regimes," the Supervisory Board said.
"By using an automated moderation system to remove content, Media Matching Service banks can amplify the impact of wrong decisions by individual human reviewers," he added.
The Meta Supervisory Board, which includes academics, rights experts and lawyers, was created by Meta Platform Inc., to decide on a fraction of the content moderation appeals are difficult, but could also advise on site policies.
