Meta to end ban on the word 'shaheed' on oversight board's recommendations

Quick Summary:

Meta Platforms said on Tuesday it would lift its blanket ban on the word "shaheed", or "martyr" in English, after a year-long review by its oversight board found the social media giant's approach was "overbroad".

Those criticisms have escalated since the onset of hostilities between Israel and Hamas in October.

Meta is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.
