    I don't believe for a moment that conservatives are a minority at Facebook. Many of the company's policies have always been conservative. Women and people of color, on the other hand, are actual minorities inside the company.

    Hi , you removed our post promoting the need for Holocaust Education for apparently violating community standards. You haven't given us a reason, yet allow Holocaust Denial pages to still exist. Seems a little hypocritical?(the post was the exact same as the tweet below)

    These numbers are alarming, but this is why we do what we do. Currently only 10 states mandate Holocaust and Genocide Education. How do we counter ignorance about the Holocaust with knowledge, compassion, and understanding?

    Holy shit - Google decided that a trailer for 'The Cleaners' (which I consulted on), a film about moderators moderating shocking content, had to be moderated, because it was shocking. Thanks (who appears in the film!) for bringing this to my attention!

    Yo, did Youtube just 'moderate' French trailer of film about moderators? (Sundance documentary The Cleaners, ft , now available in France on . But deems its content too offensive… and maybe a bit too close to home?).

    Google has committed to following certain human rights principles wherever it chooses to operate. We still haven't heard how the company plans to follow those principles when it comes to censored search in China.

    This is a tremendously important read, a personal essay on being disabled and trans and accessing bathrooms and existing in a hostile society.

    BTW, it seems like Facebook was aware of the gay conversion ads for quite some time:

    Facebook bans "adult content" for the safety of children, but then endangers children by allowing predatory Christian "conversion therapy" proponents to directly market to queer kids. Isn't it ironic?

    Here are some other ads Facebook managed to reject up front: Ads for a breast shape dictionary, an ad that used a digital illustration of the Atlas Shrugged book cover (containing a nude man), any and all ads related to marijuana, even where legal. They could've caught this.

    This is the same company that banned ads from the American Sexual Health Association for being too provocative (they were encouraging condom use). Don't believe that Facebook couldn't have caught these up front.

    Holy hell. Facebook has reportedly been targeting users it identified as LGBTQ with gay conversion therapy advertisements.
