Geneva, Switzerland—The United Nations rights chief insisted Friday that regulating hate speech and harmful content online “is not censorship,” days after Meta scrapped its fact-checking programme on Facebook and Instagram citing censorship concerns.
Instead, Meta platforms including Facebook and Instagram, “would use community notes similar to X , starting in the US,” he added. Without mentioning Meta or X, Turk elaborated on his comments on LinkedIn, cautioning that social media had the “demonstrated ability to fuel conflict, incite hatred and threaten safety.”
“At the same time, allowing hatred online limits free expression and may result in real world harms.”
