  • Oversight Board Overturns Facebook’s Decision To Remove Comment Intended to Criticise Turkish Govt

    Oversight Board Overturns Facebook’s Decision To Remove Comment Intended to Criticise Turkish Govt

    Washington, May 20: The independent Oversight Board on Thursday overturned Facebook’s decision to remove a comment intended to criticise the Turkish government.

    “This case highlighted inconsistencies in how Facebook applies its rules and a lack of transparency in how its regulations and exceptions are communicated to users,” the board said in a statement.

    On December 24, 2020, a Facebook user in the US posted a comment with an adaptation of the ‘daily struggle’ or ‘two buttons’ meme. This featured the split-screen cartoon from the original ‘two buttons’ meme, but with a Turkish flag substituted for the cartoon character’s face. The cartoon character has its right hand on its head and appears to be sweating. WhatsApp Privacy Policy: Indian Government Asks the Company To Roll Back Its New Policy Terms.

    Above the character, in the other half of the split-screen, are two red buttons with corresponding statements in English: “The Armenian Genocide is a lie” and “The Armenians were terrorists that deserved it.”

    Facebook first removed the comment under the Cruel and Insensitive Community Standard and informed the user of this. After the user’s appeal, it found that the content should have been removed under its Hate Speech Community Standard. However, it did not inform the user.

    The Board overturned the social media giant’s decision and required that the comment be restored. The Board also made a number of recommendations to Facebook.

    It suggested that if Facebook determines that a user’s content violates a different Community Standard to the one the user was originally told about, they should have another opportunity to appeal. Users should always have the correct information before coming to the Board.

    The Board also asked Facebook to ensure that it has adequate procedures in place to assess satirical content and relevant context, including providing content moderators with access to the social media platform’s local operation teams to gather relevant cultural and background information. Twitter Users Can Now Check Fleets While Scrolling Tweets on Their Timeline.

    Further, the social media giant must also let users indicate in their appeal that their content falls into one of the exceptions to the Hate Speech policy. This includes exceptions for satirical content and where users share hateful content to condemn it or raise awareness.

    The board, constituted by Facebook with 20 members from across the world last year, last month said it was reviewing more than 9,000 responses before it delivers the verdict on Trump’s ban on social media.

  • Congress apologizes for ‘torn jeans’ comment from Uttarakhand CM

    Parliament proceedings | Jyotiraditya Scindia’s return on Rahul Gandhi’s comment

    Mr. Gandhi had said that Mr. Scindia would never be made CM by the BJP, and now he would be a backbencher.

    BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Jyotiraditya Scindia retaliated on Tuesday on former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that Mr Scindia would never be made chief minister by the BJP and would now be a backbencher.

    He said, ‘I talk about Rahul’s concernYes It is expressed when I was in Congress. I would not say anything more than this.

    Mr. Gandhi made this remark while addressing the National Executive of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) in the capital on Monday. “He [Mr. Scindia] He would have become the Chief Minister, who used to be with the Congress, but has lagged behind in the BJP. He could work with activists to strengthen the organization. I told him that “one day you will become the Chief Minister” but he chose another way, “a source quoted Mr. Gandhi as saying. He said, “Write it down, he will never become Chief Minister.” He appealed to the members of the IYC to try tirelessly, “whoever comes to the party or whoever leaves”.

    The fall of Kamal Nath-led government

    Last March, Mr. Scindia entered the BJP from the Congress, along with 22 of his supporters, who were MLAs in the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly, led to the downfall of the Kamal Nath-led government.

    Both Mr. Scindia and Mr. Gandhi were considered close friends at one time, carefully avoiding sharp words against each other.

    While the BJP leader refused to comment on Gandhism, the Congress leader only said that [Mr Scindia] He was not given such an honor in the Congress.

    The Congress’ choice of chief ministers after winning assembly elections in MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in December 2018, mirrored the party’s old patron versus the young Turk Dal.

    Although Mr. Gandhi was the party president, Mr. Scindia and his chief ministerial preference for Sachin Pilot for Rajasthan were “vetoed” by senior leaders with the support of his mother and incumbent Congress chief, Sonia Gandhi.

    Wary of the politics of the background of the time, Pankaj Chaturvedi, a former Congress spokesperson in Madhya Pradesh and a Scindia loyalist, lashed out at Mr. Gandhi. “Rahul ji, you already have these 3 options. Who can be the Chief Minister @SachinPilot in rajasthan @TS_SinghDeo ji in Chhattisgarh and @sherryontopp in Punjab. @RahulGandhi sir when doing this, ”he tweeted.

    “The people of Kerala definitely want a government led by celebrities like Shri Sreedharan who will take the state out of this united cycle of corruption and stagnation. The final decision on this, however, has to come from the party’s national leadership, ”Mr. Surendran said during a press conference in Koni in the morning. On the occasion, he accused the media of taking his statement out of context and triggering controversy over it.

    Addressing party supporters during his Vijay Yatra in Thiruvalla the other day, Mr. Surendran had said that the party decided to make Mr. Sreedharan its chief ministerial candidate, so that the state could be pushed out of its current phase. He further said that the leadership of Mr. Sreedharan, who was instrumental in implementing major projects like Kochi Metro Rail and Palarivattom flyover, will change the face of Kerala forever.

    However, this statement seems to offend the party’s central leadership as the party has not raised the issue in other electoral states as well. Later, Union Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muralitharan came up with an explanation that the BJP state president was merely stating the wishes of the people.

    Muralitharan told the media, “He was only referring to certain issues in Kerala in which he mentioned that people would like to see a person like Mr. Sreedharan as the Chief Minister.”
