Taiwan Job Scam Warning
UPDATED JAN 29, 2026
2026-003-FB-UA
Today, October 23, 2025, the Oversight Board selected a case appealed by a Facebook user regarding a post reshared by a police department in Taiwan. The post contains an image of animated pigs and a bird in a police uniform. Overlay text and the caption, in Chinese, describe common signs of job scams and warn job seekers. The caption ends with information about an anti-scam hotline.
Upon initial review, Meta took down this content for violating our policy on Human Exploitation, as laid out in the Community Standards. However, upon additional review, we determined we removed the content in error and reinstated the post.
We will implement the Board’s decision once it has finished deliberating, and we will update this post accordingly. Please see the Board’s website for the decision when they issue it.

Case decision
We welcome the Oversight Board's decision today, January 29, 2026, on this case. The Board overturned Meta’s original decision to remove the content. Meta previously reinstated this content, and as a result, no further action will be taken on the case content.
When it is technically and operationally possible to do so, we will also take action on content that is identical and in the same context. For more information, please see our Newsroom post about how we implement the Board’s decisions.
After conducting a review of the recommendation provided by the Board, we will update this post with initial responses to that recommendation.
