Meta narrows guidance to prohibit calls for the death of a head of state

Facebook owner Meta Platforms said it is tightening its content moderation policy for Ukraine to prohibit calls for the death of a head of state, according to Reuters. Following previous reports that Meta was temporarily allowing posts on Facebook and Instagram calling for the death of the Russian or Belarusian president, President of Meta Global Affairs Nick Clegg explained that the company will ‘make it explicitly clear in the guidance that it is never to be interpreted as condoning violence against Russians in general’.
