Meta’s board signals ‘recurring’ failures in election content moderation

Meta’s oversight board, in a statement, noted “the removal of political activist accounts during protests in the US ahead of the midterm elections” and “technical restrictions that hit the accounts of a presidential candidate in Brazil leading to allegations of electoral interference”.

It added: “It’s clear that Meta must do more to ensure that its enforcement practices during elections are transparent and consistent, and that political speech is protected rather than stifled.”
