Where neutral speech discusses facts, history, political divisions, etc, praise often engages in value-based statements and emotive argument.” In the documents, Facebook defines “praise” as “content that praises a designated entity, event or ideology and seeks to make others think more positively of them. In a non-binding “advisory statement” accompanying that ruling, the board also recommended that Facebook “explain and provide examples of key terms” from the policy on dangerous individuals and organisations, “including the meanings of ‘praise’, ‘support’ and ‘representation’.”įacebook has not yet done so – but the definitions are set out in the internal guidelines seen by the Guardian. The board, a quasi-legalistic body set up by Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, to act as a “supreme court” for the network’s moderation decisions, ruled that a Facebook post quoting Joseph Goebbels to attack Donald Trump was not a violation of its hate speech policy, and required Facebook to restore the post. “These things are very important for training moderators, and they establish the nitty-gritty detail of the community standards,” Klonick said.Įarlier this year, Facebook faced criticism from its own oversight board for failing to explain such detail to users. Kate Klonick, an assistant professor of law at St John’s University in New York, likened the detailed documents to the role of case law in the English and Welsh legal system.

Facebook has long argued that to publish the full documents would be counterproductive since it would let malicious users avoid a ban for deliberately borderline behaviour. They constitute much more detailed guidelines on what the published rules mean in practice. While Facebook’s community guidelines – once almost entirely hidden from the view of users – have been public since 2018 when it first laid out in a 27-page document what it does and does not allow on its site, these newly leaked documents are different.

In the leaked documents dating from December 2020, moderators for Facebook and Instagram are instructed how to define “support” for terrorist groups and other “dangerous individuals”, whether to distinguish between “explaining” and “justifying” the actions of terrorists, and even in what contexts it is acceptable to call for the use of “gas chambers”. A particular area of contention surrounds what are defined as dangerous individuals and organisations.
