That is not true. Please try to be careful not to unintentionally spread propaganda.
> allowing posts such as "death to the Russian invaders," although it would not allow calls for violence against Russian civilians.
There's a big difference between self defense against an aggressive war and calls for genocide. Targeting invaders from a country's armed forces is not the same as targeting that country's civilians or largest ethnicity.
You may use Meta's platforms to call for the death of this specific list of approved people/groups only. Any other calls for death are not allowed, although the approved list may change at Meta's sole discretion at any time.
Absolutely not. Ukrainians have every right to defend their country. I just find the fact that a corporation has essentially put out a list of entities that they want to see (or are at least ok with seeing) killed pretty dystopian. It's basically the "two minutes of hate" from 1984.
To be honest, the first paragraph does say: “the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for violence against Russians”. It may very well be that its reuters spreading propaganda.
Unless it's been ninja-edited, you've left off the rest of that sentence, which says "in the context of the war with Ukraine". The article also goes on to say "although it would not allow calls for violence against Russian civilians"
