      Soooo, Facebook has special tools tracking viral misinformation damaging to itself *and* shows corrective posts to people who shared the original. I'd like a list of topics that get this special treatment. Hate speech directed at Rohingya, for example? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-08/how-facebook-fought-fake-news-about-facebook …pic.twitter.com/faN9uebQQK

      I'm not objecting to the method, mind you. I'm wondering if Facebook spent this much effort for an ethnic cleansing campaign helped along by its platform. People begged the company for years for better monitoring. What else gets this special treatment? How is it all decided?

          Also, please add this example, #facebook failed, hitherto, to take down RSF militia pages ( RSF has orchestrated and executed Khartoum massacre, 70 women raped 100 killed). I was quoted on this NPR report DM for more information:https://www.npr.org/2019/06/26/735883899/why-facebook-wont-kick-off-a-warlord …

          There's nothing wrong with them creating this odd, secret, intrusive, manipulative program, mind you, I just want it used for the good causes!

          was that carried out over Facebook itself or over WhatsApp? cause their ability to do this in WhatsApp would be very noteworthy for entirely different reasons

          If Facebook can do this to combat misinformation about itself, we should expect to do the same for other misinformative posts. Of course, they probably won't do this, because those other posts make them money. Evil. Pure Evil.

          Do you feel it’s effective? There is so much local language hate speech against Shias in it being used to radicalise, I have reported I so often on YouTube as well but they don’t have Urdu moderators 😕
