> violent speech against Russian civilians is allowed "if the context is the Russian invasion"

So it's possible to say "Russia is invading Ukraine, so every Russian must die"?

Also >Emails also showed that Meta would allow praise of the Ukrainian far-right Azov battalion, which is normally prohibited.

You can praise nazis when they are on your side?

In WW2 Finland was allied with Nazi Germany because the Soviet Union invaded them.

The UK was allied with the Soviet Union because the Nazis invaded them.

You don't have the luxury the choose your friends when the enemy is blowing up your children.
