A real civil rights audit should tell the public exactly where the deficiencies in removing hateful activity and hate content creators have been found and how they can and will be closed. The document released by the company falls far short of that need. https://t.co/gWwKLHbWy9

Among this Sunday update: Facebook is launching a US pilot program where some of the people who review content on Facebook will only focus on hate speech - instead of the content moderators who do it all https://t.co/26zmCRjVU6

As part of its ongoing civil rights audit, Facebook released its second report. It suggests that the company may soon start "allowing reviewers to specialize only in hate speech," something the company says would boost moderation accuracy. https://t.co/nyvIKog2kd

The number of ways US is failing under Trump is just staggering. In every other (western) country, Census is just something the national bureau of statistics do. It's not political, it's not susceptible to 'social media manipulation'. It's just data being organized. https://t.co/a5RbiW8n9W

Most interesting part of Facebook's report (and the press release that accompanied it) is that it repeatedly touts Facebook's work with "90 civil rights organizations," while oddly not identifying a single one by name.

Here's some possible reasons why: https://t.co/5NGUkQWv0X pic.twitter.com/n3mt96GWNu

Interestingly enough, Facebook's touted ban on white nationalism turns out to be a ban only on explicitly saying the words "white nationalism".

I know you're all as shocked as we are.

We'll leave you to draw the appropriate conclusions.https://t.co/JAeMVjq7YD

All it will take now is for someone to equate actual nationalism with White Nationalism (as both many WNs and American leftists are wont to do) to see nationalists wiped off of FB and election campaigning distorted due to restricted access to platforms. https://t.co/Q7zGIsW1pU

(So because Russia tried to influence US voters before, now Facebook is doing it directly. Vote boycotts are perfectly legitimate.)

I think this means ban promoting voting on the day of election. It is FB so it probably is not good news.
