SAN FRANCISCO – Facebok tok steplaystation Friday more context to problematic political messages on its site, as social media dealt with the protest of some of its top advertisers about the difficulty of hate speech.
Facebok said he will put labels on all messages in his net messages addressing the voting issue, which will prevent his electorate from being deported in the November elections. Tags direct users to accurate voting information, the apple said.
In addition, Facebok said it will expand its hate speech policies and ban a broader category of hate speech in the site’s ads. An article that violates Facebok’s regulations still comes from a prominent political figure, such as President Trump, will receive a label that says he has been deemed “worthy enough of interest” to stay, the apple said.
Facebok has tried to control its role in spreading erroneous data and divisive content. The combig apple founded by Silicon Valley has been criticized for allowing Trump’s erroneous or incendiary messages to be replenished without being replaced on its site, Twitter has attached fact checks and warnings to similar content on its service.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s executive leader, said he believes in supporting free speech and that posts by political leaders are not controlled because they are in the public interest to see and read them. But critics said Zuckerberg was only allowing hate speech to flourish on social media with few limits.
In recent weeks, Facebok has faced directly opposing its position on hate speech through one of its main components: advertisers, who generate most of their annual revenue of $70.7 billion. Brands like Eddie Bauer, Ben and Jerry’s and Magnolia Pictures have announced that they will advertise logical purchase on Facebok until it reconsiders their position.
