Civil Rights Groups Say If Facebook Won't Act On Election Misinformation, They Will

Civil rights groups and other critics say the social network has not done enough to curb misinformation, hate speech and voter suppression ahead of the U.S. presidential election.Civil rights groups and other critics say the social network has not done enough to curb misinformation, hate speech and voter suppression ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

Participants include the NAACP, Color of Change and the Anti-Defamation League, which together organized the Stop Hate for Profit campaign. It saw over 1,000 companies pause advertising on Facebook to protest its handling of harmful content.They are joined by others, including Roger McNamee, an early Facebook investor who has become one of the company's loudest critics, and Yael Eisenstat, who ran Facebook's election integrity operations for political ads in 2018.

"Facebook is already being used to suppress the Black vote in 2020 and we've seen all sorts of attacks on Black voters across the country," said Rashad Robinson, Color of Change president, in a statement."We're seeing an unprecedented amount of disinformation and misinformation traveling across the platform."

Problem is that hate speech is subjective and they know it. Therefore, one can never define hate speech ever again.

Fb is 💩 So is Zuckerberg

Easy solution to Facebook’s misinformation problem-delete your account. You won’t miss it at all. There, easy solve.

They should also add additional options to reporting misinformation. Sometime nasty or inappropriate things should not be shared on FB. Facebook InappropriateNasty

So civil rights groups advocating against civil rights. Got it.

Translation: Trump gets too much support on Facebook

I hate Facebook. Deleted my account years ago and haven’t missed it a bit. Join me!

Hundreds have died in Ethiopia because Facebook would not stop hate speech.

Never forget:

Hopefully those who try to restrict speech are merely ignorant and don’t actually have the fascist tendencies they display.

Facebook is a virtual cesspool. So glad me and the family got rid of insta and Facebook, brings out the worst in people.

They can start by blocking stories by the FakeNewsMedia often circulated by trashy FakeNews organizations like NPR

Facebook has allowed nefarious players to continue posting on the platform, while disabling pages promoting human rights.

Spoiler alert: 'Other critics' = NPR. 'Hate speech' = Anything not leftist.

Suppose I want to censor the posts from the 'civil rights groups', BLM posts, and anything about flamingos? If you can, so can I. When do we start?

Money hungry.

Deleted Facebook last year! Toxic. Twitter is the only social media platform I use. Been thinking of getting rid of it as well...but I hate to live under a rock.

The urge to blame other for ones own been duped, easily led, being naive and gullible...no one taking personal responsibility. Where is my mommy?.... need and want my mommy!, I'm scared!

Hunter Biden: Tied to human trafficking Tied to prostitution Tied to corrupt foreign deals Tied to Russian billionaires All while Joe Biden was the second most powerful man in the United States. NPR: CRICKETS!

'Misinformation' = Things We Don't Agree With It's not your civil right not to hear opposing opinions. Sorry.

It’s true. It’s why I deleted facebook and all my data on the site. A nice run but I’m more likely to delete my Instagram data then come back. Leave Facebook now!

DeleteFacebook

IOW, anything posted by a Trump supporter

Due to covid 19 in order to limit crowd size Republicans will vote on Nov 3rd, Democrats will vote on Nov 4th.

Facebook 👎👎👎

If you fail to follow the liberal talking points. Got it.

Legitimate question, why are some pages being censored if they actively declare that they are an opion based format? News media should actively fact check but if a topic of discussion is had doesn't everyone have the right to participate freely and chime in?

oh good let’s hope they start with BLM & Antifa

Facebook sucks. It has banned me for saying nothing

Facebook is evil. Their leadership is lax and lazy in their approach to hate.

Facebook is useful for many things, but their management needs to be held to account on a continuing basis worldwide.

Facebook has blocked me since July for complaining about the mistreatment of Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers!

Absolute insanity. Why do we need to force companies to suppress free speech? Shouldn’t it be the other way around, forcing these massive tech giants to respect the first amendment? StopAttacking1A

DeleteFacebook

Ban Facebook, ban Twitter. Social media should never have been created. Life would have been perfectly fine even without that, trust me. We all can do with a little less hate.

DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebook

There just isn't enough censorship. We need more censorship. Lots more...

'This open platform needs to be more closed.' 'Liberals' hate free speech. Remember that.

Yup, fb is 💩 and so is Zuckerberg

so who's gonna fact check these 'face checkers'

Fallen short & profited off of the propaganda of foreign governments. Zuckerburg & Jack should both do jail time for their blatant & intentional treason.

Social media is pushing all of us into these news bubbles. Everyone wants to have their pre-determined beliefs confirmed, and Facebook is all too happy to oblige that request, regardless if those beliefs are true or not.

And yet hard right conservatives I know scream they’re discriminated against.

It’s not an argument that Facebook has failed, it’s a simple fact.

Facebook's algorithms have been adjusted for what they deem as 'hate speech' although I think it is skewed towards their stakeholders. I got my first temporary ban for a 'crazy caucasians' after being warned about 'stupid white people'. PS I am beige.

I just saw a report that had hardcore Trump supporters literally say they truly only believe QAnon...even above all of the disputed facts. This is what happens when RED states underfund education and social policies but overfund welfare.

In America, Big Brother is a group of NGOs.

Facebook is not the problem. Welcome to Large Data Sets. From the digital history books: 'Garbage In,Garbage Out.' ;)
