This @cwarzel interview with @rashadrobinson about Facebook is really worth your timehttps://t.co/jNj0uai2rg

Serious doubts exist about whether Facebook is actually committed to addressing its myriad of problems.

That’s especially concerning given that the November 2020 election is just months away.
A ‘pro-tRump Facebook’ is a ‘Racist HateBook.’ https://t.co/178lnTyUYk
I continue to believe a lot of the fury at Facebook is really fury about U.S. legislators and regulators not doing their jobs. (Which does not excuse Facebook for its failures.) https://t.co/IFDcMJefO9 pic.twitter.com/rBGVSDHvuu

Listen to @OTI's @spandi_s talk content moderation, #AI, & the need for more transparency @Facebook & other platforms w/ @Marketplace's @mollywood: "We need to know how effective these tools are before telling companies to just throw more money at them." https://t.co/am9D6ZgCEI

I identified over 120 pages with more than 800,000 likes in total. These are bands with names such as 'Aryan Torture', 'Kristallnacht' and 'SoldierSS of Evil'. https://t.co/fhokpuYz4d
Anyone still on FB should be aware that’s its record on civil rights isn’t good. Some of these Neo Nazi pages have been allowed to spread hate for 10 years or so. Plus it’s Johnsons fave for pushing his lies. https://t.co/q0ZITGspOM

I can't stress the importance of this quote from @rashadrobinson enough: "I like Sheryl [Sandberg] . . . I don’t feel like she’s a bad person. But that doesn’t mean I trust what is coming out of her mouth. I know what her job is." This is Advocacy 101.https://t.co/2nWBH8Sj5K /1

i spoke to @rashadrobinson about what it’s like to sit across a table from Mark Zuckerberg and tell him his platform is broken, if Facebook can be reformed, and his nightmare scenario for Election Day https://t.co/0sm0YGGV6A

“I won’t pretend there are two equal sides of the issue. Joel Kaplan has political leanings that would make it harder for my grandfather to vote. And so if you put him in charge of voter suppression content, that’s an issue” @rashadrobinson https://t.co/xPZfXY0keK

The answer to "Like what?" here is alarming.

I really, really hope Facebook and Twitter are on top of this and worry they are not. https://t.co/Ooo0zWsTfS pic.twitter.com/0hnFUe81p6
This is the same stuff that keeps me up at night. Sadly, this is a political problem, and the Republican Party is simply not up to defend democratic processes. In this world it falls to platforms to be gatekeepers, and Facebook is not up to the task. https://t.co/aDEbpuy1jD pic.twitter.com/PP41VXyIAq

Often, getting and keeping access to powerful people causes folks to implicitly temper/censor themselves. That makes this interview with Robinson unusual, while also ringing of truth.

"The only reason I’m at the table is because we don’t have the legislative and regulatory levers to pull right now. So I feel I need to be there. But the big fixes need those levers."https://t.co/M3n5ZZIfBO
