In testimony to the US Senate in October 2020, Mark Zuckerberg pointed to the company’s transparency reports, which he said show that “we are proactively identifying, I think it’s about 94 percent of the hate speech we ended up taking down.”
Turns out that was a lie.
Thanks to Haugen, we finally know the takedown rate, and it is dismal. According to internal documents, more than 95 percent of hate speech shared on Facebook stays on Facebook. Zuckerberg boasted to Congress that Facebook took down 12 million pieces of hate speech in Groups, but based on the leaked estimate, we now know that around 250 million pieces of hate speech were likely left up.
Charge his ass and let him explain to a jury how Facebook wasn't cooking the books on how it treated hate speech. If the government moves on this, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that Zuckerberg will be taking up residence in his escape-estate in New Zealand.[1]
