The emails offer a window on the arduous debates Facebook executives have over harmful content, and concern over how its actions will be portrayed in the press. Below is a taste. https://t.co/umm9ccHiuo pic.twitter.com/3J0f5xNyOk

I think it's always incredibly valuable to have these internal conversations about content moderation published for everyone to see. often times, tbh it makes the companies look better than their bland public statements https://t.co/ee6ofxQir5

Is Facebook only worried about how it plays in the press or is the social media giant truly concerned about anti-Semitic content like the kind Alex Jones posts? https://t.co/tqx3TMS308

The internal emails between FB execs reveal Instagram is considering labeling Alex Jones a "hate figure," which would result in him being banned from Instagram. He was banned from FB last year.
