Oh, wow. Wow especially since in Germany, Facebook has been forced, through fines, to hire many moderators to respond to hate speech. If this finding holds, imagine the effect around in places Facebook has been terribly understaffed and unresponsive for years—Burma, Sri Lanka...https://twitter.com/elipariser/status/1031983483151892480 …

And folks, these are just the kind of challenges I'll be working on next year, and am hiring one computer science/technical and one social science post-doc to work on an interdisciplinary research project to tackle these issues. Apply here:https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1029379168281083904 …

Ah, so would be an interesting comparison perhaps. Reading paper, etc.https://twitter.com/schneider_EF/status/1031987162571530241 …

This particular study may or may not turn out to be strong methodologically, but the real lesson here is that we need Facebook to provide data to independent researchers! The link between spread of hate speech and violence is of incredible importance, and causal studies are hard!

They're also supposed to have in-country "content moderators" (AFAIK, the only country in the world with that requirement) and review flagged posts within 24 hours.

The preprint is updated from their Dec version. Good to see their responsiveness. It's a very complex analysis, dependent on 1) assumptions about AFD & Nutella pages as proxies for FB and 2) matching, which can be wildly wrong. With their dataset, it would take days to evaluate

It's just the kind of thing internal Facebook data would be so helpful! It's a pretty strong claim...

IMO, Germany is a best-case scenario for Facebook. A government they could not ignore forced them to staff up and respond at a scale that, as far as I know, they've not done anywhere else. (Someone correct me if there is another country).
