SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook said on April 24 it will give users the right to appeal decisions if the social network decides to remove photos, videos or written posts deemed to violate community standards. 

Plans to roll out an appeals process globally in coming months came as Facebook provided a first-ever look at internal standards used to decide what posts go too far in terms of hateful or threating speech.
