We welcome the Oversight Board’s decision today on this case, which deals with a video posted to Facebook. The video explains the origin of any breast cancer, how to conduct a self-exploration with the recommended frequency, when to reach out to the doctor, and specifies that any advice from the doctor should be followed. The accompanying caption notes that the video provides instructions for how women should undertake a breast self-examination each month to check for breast cancer.
