      A question for @facebook & @AFPFactCheck in relation to #srilanka. AFP Fact Check is https://factcheck.afp.com/fact-checking-afp … is official 3rd party fact-checker at #Facebook. What is it doing in #lka to reduce #misinformation on platform? Why is debunked content still allowed on platform?

      Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa Retweeted Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa

      This question arises from fact that #Facebook in #srilanka is generating ad revenue from content *already debunked by @AFPFactCheck* https://twitter.com/sanjanah/status/1170227217806159872 … as well as allowing it to persist & grow on platform https://twitter.com/sanjanah/status/1170227191264632832 … What gives? What's the point of exercise? #lka

      It starts with Iraj's page then goes on to other gossip pages, incl. those in name/content pro-Mahinda Rajapaksa. And then, Hiru takes over, 1st w/ Hiru Gossip, ending w/ Hiru FM. No account has run w/ correction based on @AFPFactCheck debunking of story. #lka #srilanka pic.twitter.com/bfkl30MUBr

          Fact-check article by AFP https://factcheck.afp.com/these-statues-sri-lanka-were-laid-their-side-due-heritage-restrictions-temple-they-were-not-attacked … flags a page on FB with #misinformation still up, still being engaged with, still shaping perceptions, still fuelling violent othering, still being shared. #lka #srilankapic.twitter.com/9v0zLJfUmN

          When @AFPFactCheck & said page interactions compared, AFP's reach & relevance is, well, negligible. Peak on 2nd Sept is, in fact, the very post/story AFP went on to debunk. That post in Sinhala, fact-check in English explains somewhat discrepancy in reach https://twitter.com/sanjanah/status/1170227199514832897 …pic.twitter.com/ebceEa1AKk

          But to be fair by @AFPFactCheck this is a #Facebook #misinformation ecology & platform issue for close upon decade. https://groundviews.org/2012/04/23/bigoted-monks-and-militant-mobs-is-this-buddhism-in-sri-lanka-today/ … from '12 1st examples of FB use to incite hate/violence. Same page(s) exist to date, producing same content. #lka

          During 2018 #couplk, just 24hrs after President's announcement, these pages showed clear, deep partisan bias https://twitter.com/sanjanah/status/1056120983667453952 … It got much worse https://twitter.com/sanjanah/status/1057038302363082752 … These pages in concert & clear patterns of coordinated behaviour act to malign & misinform. #lka

          Over past 24hrs, these are some of the posts/memes that have generated the most engagement on ~90 Sinhala-Buddhist #Facebook pages I monitor. Insightful & disturbing in equal parts to see blossoming of racist, extremist, majoritarian, communal tropes & symbols. #lka #srilanka pic.twitter.com/IirACaYJCA

          Late 2018, @Facebook said platform would significantly shift stance on 'borderline content' https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/15/18097402/facebook-borderline-sensationalist-provocative-content-algorithm-changes … As @jake_k presciently noted, sketchiness of diagram https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/15/18097402/facebook-borderline-sensationalist-provocative-content-algorithm-changes … harbinger of unmet promises. Borderline content *thriving* in #srilanka.pic.twitter.com/WKqu87WCAO

          Promise of fighting #misinformation sounds great. What are metrics of application/progress for #srilanka? If not public, why not? How is @AFPFactCheck et al feeding into ML/AI around suppression of toxic virality? Why is company profiting from debunked false news stories? #lkapic.twitter.com/G5ukwDnN4B

          Many committed, conscientious folk at #Facebook working on these 'VUCA' issues. But company keeps failing litmus test of basic transparency around promised initiatives + application of trusted fact-checking. Trust deficit grows. Unhelpful in #PresPollSL context. @zeynep #lka
