Facebook pledges to 'get better and faster' at addressing hate speech
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, on Tuesday promised in a blog post that the social media giant will get “get better and faster” at rooting out hate speech on its platforms.
"Facebook stands firmly against hate," Sandberg wrote. "Being a platform where everyone can make their voice heard is core to our mission, but that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for people to spread hate. It’s not. We have clear policies against hate — and we strive constantly to get better and faster at enforcing them. We have made real progress over the years, but this work is never finished and we know what a big responsibility Facebook has to get better at finding and removing hateful content."
Sandberg added that her and company CEO Mark Zuckerberg would be meeting with the civil rights groups behind the Stop Hate for Profit campaign — a movement which has called on big-name companies to remove advertising from Facebook — including Color of Change, the Leadership Conference on Civil & Human Rights and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
Created three weeks ago, the campaign has led to well-known companies such as Ford and Pfizer announcing they were pulling advertising from the platform.
