Meta’s Oversight Board says “from the river to the sea” should not be considered inherently hateful and criticizes Meta for retiring its CrowdTangle analytics tool.
Meta’s semi-independent Oversight Board says the company made the right call in letting Facebook users post pro-Palestine messages with the phrase “from the river to the sea.” In a decision published today, the board concluded the slogan “has multiple meanings and is used by people in various ways and with different intentions.
” The posts contained either explicit or “contextual signals” of support for Palestinian people and didn’t mention or support Hamas. The board notes that a minority disagreed with treating the phrase as neutral. Instead, given its use by Hamas, they argued for a policy in which it was “presumed to constitute glorification” of a terrorist group without “clear signals to the contrary.
