Facebook regularly publishes reports to give our community visibility into community standards enforcement, government requests and internet disruptions

As a reminder, last year EY conducted an independent assessment of the metrics in our CSER, as the first report of this kind with third-party validation. I believe it's an important part of keeping ourselves in check. about.fb.com/news/2022/05/c (4/7)

Community Standards Enforcement Report Assessment Results | Meta

We're publishing EY's independent findings of the Community Standards Enforcement Report metrics.

Our most important metric is prevalence, the views of content that violates our policies. A violating post may be seen because we missed it, or we took it down but not quickly enough. In Q3, prevalence was relatively stable in most policy areas. transparency.fb.com/data/community (3/7)

Community Standards Enforcement | Transparency Center

Report on how we’re doing at enforcing our policies.

Community Standards: our goal is to keep prevalence of violating content down while minimizing mistakes on the content we remove. There will always be examples of things we miss and things we take down by mistake. This report is the best way to evaluate progress. (2/7)

The spoof was set up as a free trial Workplace account under the name “Instagram” and using the IG brand as its profile pic. We've locked the account for violating policies and are continuing to investigate. We'll provide further updates as warranted here:

We welcome their conclusion that we’ve presented these metrics accurately and we have the right internal controls in place to ensure accuracy. As we keep growing this report, we'll also keep working to make sure that it is independently verified. about.fb.com/news/2022/05/c (7/7)

We're publishing EY's independent findings of the Community Standards Enforcement Report metrics.

For the second part – are our answers correct – two years ago we committed to verifying our metrics. We engaged EY for this assessment, providing them in-depth details about processes, systems, controls, and gave data and evidence requested. (6/7)

In 2018 we began tackling the first – are these the right questions – and in 2019 a group of experts in statistics, law, economics and governance published an independent assessment of the methodology we use. about.fb.com/news/2019/05/d (5/7)

An Independent Report on How We Measure Content Moderation | Meta

The Data Transparency Advisory Group just released an independent assessment of whether the metrics we share in our enforcement report are accurate and meaningful.

With reports like these, there are two things to consider: first, are we asking the right questions? Second, are our answers correct? (4/7)

The prevalence of hate speech on Facebook when we first reported for Q3-2020 was between 0.10-0.11%. In our most recent report for Q1-2022 it was about 0.02% on Facebook and Instagram. (3/7)

We continued to see a slight decrease in prevalence of Bullying and Harassment on Facebook, down from between 0.11-0.12% in Q4 2021 to 0.09% in Q1 2022 due to the continued impact of refinements we made to our policies in Q4 2021. (2/7)
