That is not true. Please try to be careful not to unintentionally spread propaganda.

> allowing posts such as "death to the Russian invaders," although it would not allow calls for violence against Russian civilians.

There's a big difference between self defense against an aggressive war and calls for genocide. Targeting invaders from a country's armed forces is not the same as targeting that country's civilians or largest ethnicity.

Which is, at the very least, questionable. And risky, because it gives Russia a potential reason to claim "the West" encouraged terrorism against Russia and Russians. At the very least this makes Russian propaganda efforts so much easier...

To be honest, the first paragraph does say: “the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for violence against Russians”. It may very well be that its reuters spreading propaganda.

You may use Meta's platforms to call for the death of this specific list of approved people/groups only. Any other calls for death are not allowed, although the approved list may change at Meta's sole discretion at any time.

Unless it's been ninja-edited, you've left off the rest of that sentence, which says "in the context of the war with Ukraine". The article also goes on to say "although it would not allow calls for violence against Russian civilians"

Meta decides what violence is acceptable or not. If you are still on Facebook, you can decide if this is acceptable for you. I would be surprised if they are still here in 10 years. They will probably burn all their money developing the metaverse anyway.
