The Oversight Board of Meta, an independent entity established by the company to provide guidance on sensitive policy matters, is set to review the recent modifications made by CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the hate speech policies on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, as reported by Engadget.

In January, Zuckerberg unveiled a significant revision of Meta’s content moderation policies, shortly before the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, with the goal of facilitating “more speech” on the company’s platforms. This revision included the relaxation of hate speech rules that had previously protected immigrants and LGBTQ individuals on Meta’s apps.

The Oversight Board of Meta currently has four ongoing cases related to hate speech, and it intends to utilize these cases to assess the company’s new policies, according to Engadget.

Meta has a history of inconsistent adherence to the Oversight Board’s recommendations. While the company is required to comply with the board’s decisions regarding individual posts, as per its own rules, the board’s influence on broader policies is limited.
