"because it prevents people from feeling safe and respected on Facebook". Under Tier 4 of the
specific rules, the company prohibits content that "praises, celebrates or mocks the death or
serious injury" of private individuals.
Meta's Dangerous Individuals and Organisations policy rationale explains that Meta prohibits
"content that praises, substantively supports or represents events that Facebook designates as
violating violent events – including terrorist attacks, hate events, multiple-victim violence or
attempted multiple-victim violence". Under Tier 1 of the specific rules, Meta removes any praise
of such events.
III. Meta's values:
Meta's values are outlined in the introduction to Facebook's Community Standards and the
company has confirmed that these values apply to Instagram. The value of "Voice" is described
as "paramount":
The goal of our Community Standards is to create a place for expression and give people a voice.
Meta wants people to be able to talk openly about the issues that matter to them, even if some
may disagree or find them objectionable.
Meta limits "Voice" in the service of four other values, three of which are relevant here:
Safety: We're committed to making Facebook a safe place. We remove content that could
contribute to a risk of harm to the physical security of persons. Content that threatens people
has the potential to intimidate, exclude or silence others and isn't allowed on Facebook.
Privacy:We're committed to protecting personal privacy and information. Privacy gives people
the freedom to be themselves, choose how and when to share on Facebook, and connect more
easily.
Dignity: We believe that everyone is equal in dignity and rights. We expect that people will
respect the dignity of others and not harass or degrade them.
