Meta, the company which owns among other things social networks Facebook and Instagram, announced today (Tuesday) that it has decided that from now on the word "shaheed" (martyr) will be allowed to be used and will not be considered incitement to terrorism, according to Arutz 14.
It was said that the company contacted Meta's supervisory board months ago regarding a policy opinion on how to deal with the use of the word "shaheed". It has been decided that the use of the word by itself will be tolerated, unless it is used an "exceptional" case of incitement to violence.
In the company's publication, the following explanation for this decision was given: ""Shahid" is used in different ways by many communities around the world, in various cultures, religions and languages. At times, this approach may result in us removing some content that was never intended to support terrorism or glorify violence."
