Bannon spreads misinformation online and has deceived users into donating funds to President Trump’s border wall, the group says. Bannon posted a video on Facebook calling for the beheading of Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease expert. One of the issues it seeks to highlight is the removal of former Trump strategist Steve Bannon from the platform. The initiative, created by the nonprofit group Citizens, aims to assess cases that Facebook's independent board cannot hear or cannot assess quickly. Another organization, called the "Real Facebook Oversight Board," is taking up its own docket. The Facebook Oversight Board is not without its detractors. The user argued in their appeal that the content should not have been removed because it "meant to disagree with people who think the killer is right and to emphasize that human lives matter more than religious ideologies."Ī third hate speech removal involved the Armenian Azerbaijani conflict and the destruction of churches. The user said "their intention was to demonstrate the destruction of cultural and religious monuments." The user appealed to the board, saying they wanted "to raise awareness of the former Prime Minister’s 'horrible words'," the board's synopsis says.Īnother of the hate speech-related cases is about the removal of "two well-known photos of a deceased child lying fully clothed on a beach at the water’s edge." The post's comments, in Burmese, asked why there has been "no retaliation against China for its treatment of Uyghur Muslims, in contrast to the recent killings in France relating to cartoons," according to the synopsis. The hate speech-related cases included one involving a screenshot of tweets from former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad including the comment, “Muslims have a right to be angry and kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.” Facebook removed the post as a hate speech violation.

"Facebook removed it for violating its policy on Violence and Incitement, and in its referral indicated to the Oversight Board that this case presents an example of the challenges faced when addressing the risk of offline harm that can be caused by misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic," the case synopsis says.
The COVID-19 misinformation case involved the removal of a video and comments criticizing the French health strategy of "purportedly refusing authorization for use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin against COVID-19, but authorizing promotional mail for remdesivir" from a Facebook group related to the pandemic. The oversight board arose from Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's idea to have another check on the social networks' moderation processes.
