Overturned Platform Decision Based on Its Values

14 November 2025 Site Author

A user from France sent us a dispute requesting that a Facebook post be removed from the platform. The post claimed that individuals who do not identify as strictly male or female should consult a psychiatrist. Meta had reviewed the post, found no violations and did not remove it. However, after assessing the content, we overturned this decision and recommended removing the content. Our decision reflected Meta’s stance against harmful stereotypes as stated in its Hateful Conduct policy rationale, and the company’s principles of Voice, Dignity and Safety.
