Конец демократических ценностей? The end of democratic values? EXCLUSIVE. Facebook allows Ukrainian military posts to call for violence against the Russian and Putin invasion. How so? Where are your vaunted Western democratic values? Calling for violence is a criminal offense in all countries of the world, including the United States. March 10 (Reuters) - Meta platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the invasion of Ukraine, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in temporary change in hate speech policy. The social network is also temporarily allowing some messages calling for the death of Russian President Vladimir Putin or Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, according to internal emails to content moderators. “As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have temporarily allowed for forms of political expression that normally violate our rules, such as aggressive language such as “death to the Russian occupiers.” We still will not tolerate credible calls for violence against Russian citizens,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. Death calls for leaders will be allowed as long as they don't contain other targets or don't have two metrics of credibility, such as location or method, according to one email, in a recent change to the company's rules on violence and incitement. Referring to the Reuters material, the Russian embassy in the United States demanded that Washington stop Meta's "extremist activities". More “Facebook and Instagram users did not give the owners of these platforms the right to determine the criteria of truth and pit nations against each other,” the embassy said on Twitter, also shared by their office in India. According to one email, temporary policy changes regarding incitement to violence against Russian soldiers apply to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine. In an email recently sent to moderators, Meta highlighted a change in its hate speech policy against both Russian soldiers and Russians in the context of the invasion. “We are issuing a policy clearance to allow T1 hate speech that would otherwise be removed under the hate speech policy when: (a) targeting Russian soldiers EXCEPT POWs, or (b) targeting Russians there, where possible. it is clear that the context is the Russian invasion of Ukraine (for example, the content mentions the invasion, self-defense, etc.),” the letter says. “We are doing this because we have noticed that in this particular context, ‘Russian soldiers’ are being used as proxies for the Russian armed forces. The hate speech policy continues to prohibit attacks on Russians,” the email reads. Russia said last week it was banning Facebook in the country in response to what it says is restricting access to Russian media on the platform. Moscow cracked down on tech companies, including Twitter (TWTR.N), which said its activities in the country were restricted, during what it calls a "special operation" invasion of Ukraine. Many major social media platforms have announced new conflict-related content restrictions, including blocking Russian state media outlets RT and Sputnik in the European Union, and showcased some exceptions to their wartime policies. The emails also revealed that the Meta would allow praise for the normally prohibited right-wing Azov Battalion, in a change first reported by The Intercept. A spokesperson for Meta previously stated that the company "is currently making a small exception to praise the Azov Regiment solely in the context of defending Ukraine or their role within the Ukrainian National Guard."
