Today, theOversight Board selected a caseappealed by someone on Facebook regarding historical photos purportedly showing churches in Baku and a caption indicating disdain for Azerbaijani people and support for Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute.

Facebook has taken down this content for violating ourpolicy on hate speech, as laid out in our Community Standards. We do not allow hate speech on Facebook because it creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion, and in some cases, may promote real-world violence.

We will implement the board's decision once it has finished deliberating, and we will update this post accordingly. Please see theboard's websitefor the decision when they issue it.
