A leading company in virtual transformation studies.
Facebok’s refusal to limit what he sees as a “political discourse” in its flat form is the central complaint discovered in a long new civil rights audit conducted with Facebok’s cooperation.
“We are very concerned that the integration of the company decisively to exempt politicians from fact-checking and precedents set through his recent decisions on President Trump’s positions, leaves the door open to the form of plats through other politicians to interfere with the vote,” audit said.
If politicians are misleading to deceive other Americans about official forms of voting (calling illegal balmasses or making other misleading statements that do not seem controlled, for example) and are allowed to exploit whistles of not-so-confusing dogs with impunity to incite violence opposed to the group gambling station than racial justice, this does not bode well for the hostile voting environment that is also facilitated through Facebok United States. »»
Facebook’s position on political discourse comes from CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
In a primary speech at Georgethe City University in October 2019, Zuckerberg advocated for moderate political speech on Facebook.
“We don’t do this to support politicians,” he said, “even though we believe other Americans would rather be able to see for themselves what politicians are saying. And if the content is of journalistic interest, don’t eliminate it either, even assuming that otherwise, I’ll bump into the big apple of our standards.” He continually defended Facebook’s position over the coming months.
This policy has been tested several times through President Trump’s messages. In an insufficient period beyond May, Trump denounced anti-racist protesters as “GOLPES” and threatened violent reprisals.
“When the sacking begins, the shooting begins,” Trump said on Twitter and Facebook, a direct quote from a notoriously stern Miami police leader who invoked the word against black Americans of the 1960s race riots.
This message violated the conduct of the Facebok community. Specifically, it violated Facebok’s “violent and criminal behavior” rules, which state:
“While we perceive other Americans to discontinue an unconditional friend with explicit contempt or a war of words by threatening or calling for violence in a non-serious way, we remove language that incites or facilitates serious violence. We remove content, disable accounts and paintings with the police when we believe there is a real threat of physical harm or direct threats to public safety. We also review and take into account language and context to differentiate occasional statements from content that poses a credible threat to public or non-public safety. to determine whether a threat is credible, we can also provide additional data to the concept, such as a person’s public visibility and threats to their physical security.”
Zuckerberg defended Facebok’s decision to drop Trump’s message in a message posted on his own Facebok page.
“Our position is that we deserve to allow as much explicitness as imaginable unless it causes an imminent threat of explicit harm or threats set in transparent policies,” he wrote. “We looked at the message that handled the protests in Minnesota … The National Guard references meant we read it as a warning about state action, and we believe other Americans are looking to dominate if the executive is thinking of deploying the force.”
The civil rights audit called Facebook’s resolution not to moderate Trump’s posts as “a value that the security of free speech is more critical than the other values declared by the company.”
In addition, the audit called on Facebok to move his policy of non-moderation of political discourse and, in particular, called the apple to be compared to adgetize the president’s messages that they violated further because of his netpainting standards.
“Listeners strongly encourage Facebok to review or temporarily reinterpret his policies to prohibit content that classifies official or balmass forms of voting as illegal, fraudulent, or broadcast through unofficial channels, and that Facebok prohibits content that distorts the breeding station or essential elements it received or sent.” said the audit.
In a letter published along with the audit, Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, said the apple “won’t make all the changes requested through listeners,” but will implement some of his advice. You never know what advice the apple will take and which will not, however, Mark Zuckerberg recently indicated that he is open to reviewing Facebook’s political discourse policy.
