As per the report, it defines actioned content as being the number of pieces of content (such as posts, photos, videos or comments) it takes action on for going against its standards.
“This metric shows the scale of our enforcement activity. Taking action could include removing a piece of content from Facebook or Instagram or covering photos or videos that may be disturbing to some audiences with a warning,” Meta said.
In February, Meta received 1,647 reports through the Indian grievance mechanism, and responded to 100% of those reports. Of these reports, the company said it provided tools for users to resolve their issues in 585 cases.
These include pre-established channels to report content for specific violations, self-remediation flows where they can download their data, avenues to address account hacked issues and so on.
