Stunning answer from Bickert on hate speech. ‘Myanmar is one of the countries where we have made most progress.’ She says it’s seen 63% improvement. Honestly. Where do you even start with this? 63% better than causing a genocide? That’s the benchmark?

Now failing to answer q on value of political ads to Facebook. Bickert: ‘it’s not about the money’. Suspect that’s true. It’s about power & political leverage. It’s about FB’s relationship with current US administration, the consequences of which are inflicted on rest of world

Replying to @carolecadwalla
Bickert tried to deflect with 'foreign actors' rather than address the question of 'foreign currencies'. Coming across as arrogant and brazen, just like her boss.

But that is correct! Why would the Russian intelligence not use dollars? You block a whole currency you just block the innocent players. I think we should focus on the important things. (Of which there are many!).

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't use dollars and shell companies anyway. This is an intelligence operation we're talking about, the Russians aren't stupid
