Meta should consider adjusting its relevant protocol to send review jobs to different reviewers than those who previously assessed the content to improve the accuracy of decisions made upon secondary review. The Board is further concerned about the pressure on at-scale reviewers to assess content that may require more complex policy assessment in a short amount of time, often mere seconds. The Board has previously expressed concern about the limited resources available to moderators and their capacity to prevent the kind of mistakes seen in these cases (“Wampum belt” case, “‘Two buttons’ meme” case).

Empowering women to freely express themselves enables the realization of their human rights ( A/HRC/Res/23/2; ( A/76/258 para. 5). The Joint Declaration on Freedom of Expression and Gender Justice, a statement by the freedom of expression experts in the UN and regional human rights systems, discusses the importance of protecting speech that calls attention to gender-based violence. It states that “when women speak out about sexual and gender-based violence, states should ensure that such speech https://www.oversightboard.com/decision/ig-h3138h6s/?lang=es 14/21
