For a long time, it has been frustrating to see how vague and inadequate the terminology used by Facebook and Instagram can be, particularly in their 'Dangerous Organization and Individuals' policy. This has led to confusion and sometimes unjust labeling of individuals and groups. A name is more than just words; it signifies the intent and scope of the policy. It's time for change.

Instead of a broad and unclear title, a shift to more precise names such as 'Perpetrators of Violent Attacks Policy', 'Violent and Hateful Entities Policy', and 'Glorification of Violence Policy' would provide greater clarity. This change wouldn't only improve understanding but also increase accountability and transparency in managing online content.

Statistics show that users spend an average of 2 hours and 31 minutes per day on social media platforms (DataReportal, 2021). Hence, platforms like Facebook and Instagram hold substantial influence over the information that people consume daily. It's imperative that these platforms use clear and specific language to define the policies that govern their content moderation. Misinterpretations borne from unclear policy names can have severe implications, including unwarranted bans or the overlooking of harmful contents.

Renaming these policies is a practical step towards better user comprehension and a more effective moderation system. Such clarity is not only beneficial for casual users but also for policymakers, researchers, and activists who depend on these policies to maintain online safety and freedom of expression.
