تھائی یرغمالیوں کے مذاکرات کار کا انٹرویو

بورڈ نے ایک تھائی یرغمالی مذاکرات کار کے ساتھ Sky News کے ویڈیو انٹرویو کے تقریباً ایک جیسے حصوں پر مشتمل Facebook کی دو پوسٹوں کا جائزہ لیا جس میں حماس کے ہاتھوں یرغمالیوں کو آزاد کرانے کیلئے کام کرنے کے اپنے تجربے کو بیان کیا گیا تھا۔ جب بورڈ نے اپیلوں پر Meta کی توجہ دلائی تو کمپنی نے اپنے ابتدائی فیصلے واپس کیلئے اور ہر ایک پوسٹ کو بحال کر دیا۔

Interview med thailandsk gidselforhandler

Rådet har gennemgået to Facebook-opslag med næsten identiske segmenter fra et Sky News-videointerview med en thailandsk gidselforhandler, der beskrev sin oplevelse med at arbejde for at befri gidsler hos Hamas. Efter at rådet havde gjort Meta opmærksom på appellerne, omstødte virksomheden sine oprindelige afgørelser og gendannede begge opslag.
