Hrant Dink prominent author was assassinated by a Turkish fascist back on January 14, 2007. Alin Ozinian, another Armenian reporter, wanted to mark the day by sharing his portrait on Instagram. The photo was removed citing "dangerous organisations and individuals" community standard.
To play devils advocate here, a bad translation of the post might interpret the first half of the sentence as "they should keep murdering you" instead of "even if they keep murdering you". But it's Facebook, so they could also just be on the fascists' side.
No meta platform gets the benefit of the doubt from me anymore. Unless they can show it was a benign action, their history tells me they were probably being malicious.
Facebook should not be making content moderation decisions based on machine translations. They should be paying actual humans who can both speak the language and understand the cultural context of the posts. Yes, that's going to cost them more. They shouldn't be allowed to operate if they don't do it.
