Facebook Civil Rights Audit

Facebook "aim to build a culture that explicitly protects and promotes civil rights on Facebook."

Here's the second update from their Civil Rights Audit.

Quote:

Today’s report recommends we go further to include content that supports white nationalist ideology even if the terms “white nationalism” and “white separatism” aren’t explicitly used. We’re addressing this by identifying hate slogans and symbols connected to white nationalism and white separatism to better enforce our policy.

We also recently updated our policies so Facebook isn’t used to organize events that intimidate or harass people based on their race, religion, or other parts of their identity.
They now ban posts from people who intend to bring weapons anywhere to intimidate or harass others, or who encourage people to do the same.

There are updates to prevent discrimination in targeted US housing, employment and credit ads.

They're going to treat next year’s US census like an election — with people, policies and technology in place to protect against census interference and misinformation, and working to ban ads that discourage people from voting.

They will work with voting rights experts to make sure key members of their election team are trained on trends in voter intimidation and suppression so they can remove this content from Facebook more effectively.

I've posted several times about changes Facebook keep making to keep their business profitable.

I've somehow taken on this job because I find it far more interesting than saying "Facebook is ****" and not thinking much further about it.

I'm finding it refreshing to see how improving equality and truth seem to also be profitable.

While Facebook lost a few million users in the US (perhaps due to a current national negativity), it was gaining those numbers back in emerging economies.
