for years, the convergence of rampant misinformation about the coronavirus and racism against Black users led them to launch the campaign now.
"In the wake of a global health pandemic, Facebook’s failure to update the policies and processes that have allowed for hate, conspiracy theories and racist and antisemitic content to proliferate on its platform continues to be a source of pain for entire communities," its website states. The coalition has two goals: to"raise awareness of Facebook’s harmful impact on our society," and to"demand Facebook enact critical changes" in advance of the election in November.The coalition says that now is a pivotal point for Facebook to take action.
"The coalition does not expect that Facebook will be perfect in all cases and every time," the group says."But given where they are today, significant improvement should be easy, and the coalition is asking for common-sense reforms. That is why we are recommending long overdue, reasonable changes to Facebook to make it safer and less hate-filled."
Not their own of course...right?
We appreciate all the meaningless gestures so much...
To bad FB is basically a monopoly and celebrities- especially those like Kim Kardashian have built an empire using social media. Meanwhile, people consider “right wing talking points” “hate speech”. This is stupid. If your offended by what your seeing on FB stay off.
Only a day?
A day? 😂😂
How about they quit forever?
wow so brave

For a whole day! WOW.

Not something the left truly wants. Look at social media Yes. Freedom of Speech is our individual Constitutional Right. But our Societal Obligation demands we respect each other’s differences. Opposing opinions don’t make us hateful enemies..🇺🇸🇺🇸 Freedom of speech, is in need to count with boundaries in Pluralistic societies. An arrogant West, with 'Everything goes' kind of societies, refuse to take into consideration the lessons of the horrible: Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. Insisting in not respect other cultures.
