A Review Of Facebook’s Current Hate Speech And Community Standards

in #freespeech6 years ago (edited)


In this video I dive into the community standards for hate speech and what Facebook actually considers hate speech given it's removing around 300,000 posts monthly if not more on just the basis of hate speech. People are getting censored and banned left and right, but mostly right. We need more transparency and updates being made to reflect what they are actually going after people for. Let's dive into what they have laid out together.

These are the three pages I refer to and read off of:

Facebook is dead to me, the only reason I still have an account is to check in on my family in Italy. Their policies have been pull out of Mark's ass. I tried to sell a collection of coins and they pulled it down. Forget talking about guns. If they started to charge a $1 a year to have an account, I would shut mine down.

Not only does Facebook censor its users, but it also spams users with totally irrelevant ads for things they would never, ever buy. When I log on, every third post is an ad for a $2,000 "coaching program" to teach me to make $100,000/year as an SEO consultant. Yeah, right.

And then there is the overall atmosphere of negativity and downright rude behavior on Facebook. Because Facebook takes all of the money for itself and doesn't pay the users anything, no one posts unless they are mad at someone or some thing.

I am convinced that Facebook is not just useless, it's actually harmful. I still have an account for those rare times when using it is necessary simply because that's where everyone is, but I try to stay off it as much as possible.

Yeah well said! I completely agree
