Meta has some explaining to do.
On January 7th, Meta announced a raft of sweeping changes to its existing policies, including changes to fact-checking and its enforcement of policies on harmful content.
CCDH analyzed these changes and found:
[…]
- Content enforcement could be halted in 97% of key areas including hate speech, bullying and harassment, and violence or incitement of violence.
- Changes to hate speech policy would be implemented worldwide & immediately
- Other major policy changes currently impacting only users in the US, would eventually be expanded beyond the US.
- Meta has failed to adequately explain to users why or how these changes will be implemented across their platforms.
