This is the best summary I could come up with:
This followed posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, and TikTok by Instagram user @khanman1996 on Sunday which drew attention to the translation error and documented it happening in a screen recording.
In a statement posted on X on Sunday, Meta's communications director Andy Stone said the platform had identified a bug "significantly" reducing the reach of Stories which had re-posted Reels or content from fellow users.
The social media firm said in response that posts were removed for containing "hate speech or symbols" and changed its algorithm, but it led Meta to commission an independent review into its moderation of the 2021 Israel-Palestinian conflict content.
The human rights due diligence report by consultancy firm Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) was published in September 2022.
BSR said it did not identify any intentional racial or political bias at Meta but recommended that the company should offer more detailed explanations to users who have their posts or accounts removed and improve language skills of staff in Hebrew and Arabic dialects.
On Thursday, Meta and TikTok were sent formal requests by the European Commission for more information about their measures to limit the spread of disinformation and illegal content in the wake of Hamas' attacks.
