A new community standard on meta hateful behavior would allow criticism of the mental state of people who claim to be transgender.
The rule change comes after founder Mark Zuckerberg announced a major change in Meta's approach to moderation, saying the company had reached a point where it was making too many mistakes leading to “censorship.” I was disappointed.
“parable [our filters] We may accidentally censor just 1% of posts, but that's millions of people,” Zuckerberg said.
So Zuckerberg and the company decided to allow more discussion on political and religious grounds.
Updating to Policy basis Regarding hateful conduct rules, Mehta said the site still removes “dehumanizing speech, allegations of gross immorality or criminal activity, and defamation.”
The company added: “We also support harmful stereotypes, defined as dehumanizing comparisons that have been used historically to attack, intimidate, or exclude specific groups and are often associated with offline violence.” I'll delete it.''
“We allow content that advocates gender-based restrictions in the military, law enforcement, and teaching professions.”
However, an article dealing with targeting other meta users because of their characteristics states that meta can be defined as “political exclusion, i.e. denying the right to political participation, or advocating imprisonment or denial of political rights. ”.
The rules further state that insulting people's inherent intellectual capacity is not permissible, but claims of mental illness related to sexual orientation are permissible.
Given political and religious discourse about transgender and homosexuality, and the common use of non-serious words such as “queer,” we allow claims of mental illness or abnormality based on gender or sexual orientation.
The platform also allows content that advocates gender-based restrictions, such as in the military or education.
“We allow content that advocates gender-based restrictions for the military, law enforcement, and teaching professions. If the content is based on religious beliefs, we also allow the same content based on sexual orientation,” Meta says. he wrote.
“Social exclusion,” which involves denying access to spaces based on sex or gender, is actually allowed under the new guidelines.
“Deny access to spaces (physical and online) and social services” [is not allowed]However, exclusions based on sex or gender from spaces that are generally restricted by sex or gender, such as restrooms, sports and sports leagues, health and support groups, and certain schools, are excluded. ”
At the same time, other basic allegations against an individual (including calling an individual a coward, dishonest, or sexually promiscuous) are not allowed.
Meta also seems to make room for satirical content, a theme that has been a clear problem on left-wing social platforms in recent history. Certain content is allowed to violate Meta's Community Standards if it is considered satirical, but if the content is deemed to be satirical or or attributable to someone else.”
Meta concluded the rationale for the new policy by saying that European Union member states can submit takedown requests if they believe certain content violates their domestic “hate speech laws.”
