      If something happens in English we notice it. It's awful to have nonsense about Megyn Kelly "trend" but the stakes are much lower here.

      This is not a Facebook only problem. See the trending on Turkish Twitter right now. One hashtag is an ethnic slur.pic.twitter.com/VnlrvSoHen

      I worry about Twitter trending; I worry Google results but Facebook must triple worry. Bigger, more potential to organize collective action.

      Trending teams must review topics to vet them—especially for vicious hate speech—especially outside the US where they don't notice.

      "Little to no vetting" may feel like it'll save execs some headaches—but you'll instead end up in history books, as part of horrible events.

      What would good vetting look like? From FB's perspective it just got them grief. Not defending them, but it's predictable.

      The same thing that makes them a 10-year company with $374 billion market cap makes them responsible, though, to do better.

      They want "no grief", tiny workforce, don't scale content/policy people side to their size, and network-effects driven $$$$.

      I'm terribly serious that if they scale trending globally, they will go down in history books in very ugly stories.

      I'm not sure that they will do it globally. The cost/benefit may not be there. But companies don't care about history books either.

      People do; and Facebook is run by people, and not that many of them and they aren't even beholden to Wall Street.

          I genuinely don't think scaring Facebook with the threat of being written about poorly in history books will work.

          Maybe not, but it's part of what might to happen. This will also soon hit EU laws; and maybe even raise liability issues.
