Meta lifts 'Shaheed' ban: slight change amid censorship controversies

The oversight board, which launched its review into the word, is funded by Meta but operates independently. Meta's decision to ban the word "shaheed" led to significant content removals and censorship, particularly impacting discussions on Middle Eastern issues. The recent policy reversal comes amid growing criticism of Meta's handling of pro-Palestine content, underscoring ongoing concerns about free expression on the platform.
