Facebook said on Wednesday it removed seven million posts in the second quarter for sharing false information about the novel coronavirus, including content that promoted fake preventative measures and exaggerated cures.

It released the data as part of its sixth Community Standards Enforcement Report, which it introduced in 2018 along with more stringent decorum rules in response to a backlash over its lax approach to policing content on its platforms.

It also deleted 8.7 million posts connected to “terrorist” organizations, compared with 6.3 million in the prior period. It took down less material from “organized hate” groups: 4 million pieces of content, compared to 4.7 million in the first quarter.Advertisers push Facebook to ban white supremacist Boogaloo movement: ‘It is actively promoting violence’

Facebook said it relied more heavily on automation for reviewing content starting in April as it had fewer reviewers at its offices due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s graphic content that honestly at home it’s very hard for people to moderate, with people around them,” said Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president for integrity.

Who are their factcheckers? Liars!

So why does Pete Evans (the orange charlatan) still have a profile?

But fb itself is a crook!

REMOVE FACEBOOK AND MURDOCH FOR A BETTER LIFE

Am i GOD Or what... The Jewish MESSIAH Rabbis He has COMETH Hallelujah

Virologist Li-Meng Yan: This is a virus based on the bat virus discovered and owned by the PLA. It was engineered in the lab through a series of processes to make it focused on human. that is why it is very powerful for human being. WarRoomPandemic

Please watch this video: Why they don’t permit you get in lab? Why they offer the wrong genome sequence instead of real one ? Very simple virus genome seq can prove if it is biological weapons ! So CCP never let you know the original virus!

Only 7 million. Seems a low number.

That bot isn't a doctor. He is censoring REAL doctors and scientists. He should be tried at the Hague.

Thank god they are there to protect us. Imagine having to think for yourself! Modern day heroes

Don't mention HCQ.

Facebook admitting they are a publisher and not a platform. Time for the protections to be removed

Imagine the lawsuits to come if they were wrong.

How did they decide which was legit and which was not? FB is deciding for us what we will see and read.. how powerful

Thanks overlords for controlling the flow of information and ideas. Wouldn't want to trust the plebs with their own judgement or critical thinking..... although we are funnily enough allowed to 'vote' ... interesting.

It's time for FACEXIT. He has completely ruined the platform and I expect that he goes to hell with the same ones that are denying the use of Hydroxychloroquine in order to protect the big Pharma that wants to make trillions with a vaccine. hydroxychloriquineworks Trump2020

Just shows how much shit is out there.

My daughter just had her F/B account deleted for no reason that she could think of, she never posts any content that could be misconstrued at all whether about coronavirus or anything else.

How did they analyze each one would of taken 7 million hrs its this crap that makes him his millions

Who is in charge of their medical research department? I've read pro's and cons on every bit of detail, who knows what's right?!?

You mean....censoring information, that doesn't conform to Big Pharma?

They need to do more!!!!!!!

Thank you Face book. Thank you!

We need more discussions not less! Otherwise we might as well be robots for goodness sake. How can we educate each other if we all think the same 🤷‍♀️ also have you ever heard of differences of opinion! How come fb and Twitter allow pedo sites though just look up cute boys 🤮

I call BS, there has been rejection of multiple reports of the social media miscreants I watch. Anti-vax, anti-mask, COVID Rx lies abound. The hardest to attend to are the those based on a fact that is irrelevant and designed to deceive. FB fact checkers are failing. COVID19

Fakebook!

Does Facebook still exist?

To me, Hong Kong protestors coronavirus advice most relevant. In Feb, medics protested for insufficient PPE, Masks, closing borders to prevent medical system being stressed. Now the world’s all facing these problems.

How on earth do kids working in the censorship room of Facebook have any idea what is fake news on Covid

What's it doing about Qanon accounts?

Facebook time to delete Facebook account&app
