Leaked emails reveal Facebook to allow violent posts against Russians

Facebook and Instagram will allow posts that call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in relation to the Ukraine invasion.

The temporary change to parent company Meta’s hate speech policies will allow posts that call for the deaths of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko according to internal emails to content moderators seen by Reuters.

These calls for death cannot contain threats on other targets or information concerning the location or method of the proposed violence.

According to the emails, threats against Russian soldiers are also allowed as they are being used as a proxy for the Russian military. Reuters reported that the changes would not apply to prisoners of war.

“In light of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, we made a temporary exception for those affected by war, to express violent sentiments toward invading armed forces such as ‘death to the Russian invaders’,” a Meta company spokesperson confirmed to news.com.au.
