Facebook critics say the social network wants to do more for the U. S. election.
At a press conference on Wednesday, the organization submitted a list of requests for Facebook. The social network enforces its rules, adding a policy contrary to incitement to violence and banning paid classified ads that mention the effects of presidential elections until there is a candidate. declared the winner and the other concedes. Facebook also says posts about the effects of presidential elections are false and unwelcome before the effects are published, according to the organization.
The lawsuits show that Facebook continues to face more tension to fight more against misinformation and hate speech ahead of the November US elections.
Facebook has been criticized this year for the way it translates its own rules. The company did not delete a message from President Donald Trump saying that “when looting begins, the shooting begins,” which triggered a rare virtual strike between Facebook workers in June. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that while the message “had a worrying old reference,” the company abandoned it because it referred to the National Guard and social media “interpreted it as a warning about state action. “
Robinson said he also asked Facebook to respond to Donald Trump Jr. ‘s calls on the social network for the president’s supporters to move to the polls. Black communities say these calls pose a “threat” to their ability to express their “will for a greater future,” he said.
“The other people on Facebook emailed me to discuss the words Array. . . “, he said. “Our blood will have to be shed before Facebook does anything. “
Facebook did not respond to a request for comment. The company said it would avoid accepting political classified ads and running classified classified ads a week before the election and reject classified ads claiming victory before electoral effects are announced. He also said he would tag the posts of any candidate or crusader who attempts to claim victory before the final effects, directing users for the official purposes of Reuters and the National Election Pool. facebook does not send political posts to fact-checkers.
Facebook has also created what it also calls a supervisory board that would have the strength to cancel or verify the social network about what content to leave or delete, but the organization plans to launch in October and Facebook has up to 90 days to act on a decision.
Carole Cadwalladr, the Guardian and Observer journalist known for denouncing the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica knowledge scandal, founded a British advocacy organization called The Citizens that hosted Facebook’s Royal Supervisory Board.
He said the organization was created as an emergency reaction because the other facebook-trained council will not be published in time to have an effect on the content of the U. S. election.
“We hope they can do something longer-term to hold Facebook accountable, but they won’t hold them accountable at this critical time,” Cadwalladr said.
