The company's blog post on the issue

"This change will allow relevant

Following the issue, the Oversight
Board pointed out that although Facebook is ready for a discount on satirical
content, it is not clear what will meet the definition of satirical content.
In response, Facebook said in an
official blog post that it could clarify its guidelines on satirical content as
well as take further steps by "reviewing the content in the
background".
Under current Facebook rules, the
social network removes "hate speech" in any way, declaring it against
community standards.
