Meta’s Oversight Board has made similar deliberations over posts calling for violence against state leaders like Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Russian President Vladimir Putin. In 2022, the board instituted a temporary change in policy allowing users in some countries to post content calling for violence against Russian soldiers or politicians as long as the posts didn’t include “indicators of credibility.”

The board announced it will now deliberate the two Venezuelan cases together and issue a single decision, “...which will be binding on Meta and inform the company’s approach to this type of content in Venezuela more generally.” The decision will be published within 30 days.
