The Meta Oversight Board overturned the company's decision to remove any Facebook and Instagram posts that used the slogan "death to Khamenei" to criticize the Iranian leader, saying it did not violate a rule barring violent threats.
The board, which is funded by Meta but operates independently, said in a ruling that the phrase is often used to mean "down with Khamenei" in referring to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
