Facebook


After nearly 100 brands announced that they will withdraw their ads from Facebook for next July because of their policies towards racist publications, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Friday that the company will change its policies to prevent hate speech in its ads.

He said that the new Blue Site policies will prohibit ads that claim that people of race, nationality, nationality, class, sex, sexual orientation, or immigration origin represent a threat to the physical safety or health of any other person.

In addition, Zuckerberg said his company would do more to protect migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers from declarations that they were less important than other groups of people, or from ads that expressed contempt, ostracism, or loathing against them.

The move comes after nearly 100 brands announced that they will withdraw their ads from Facebook for next July or longer as part of a movement called #StopHateForProfit. The protest protested, "Facebook's repeated failure to address the widespread spread of hate on its platforms." Whereas, the CEO of the famous site of the provinces did not address directly today.

Add a tag

Zuckerberg also announced today, Friday, that Facebook will now add a tag to the content to be left because it is informative and valuable to the public interest, even if it violates company policies. Facebook users who try to share this content will see a message telling them that the content they share may violate company policies. Twitter has a similar policy of leaving the tweets it considers worthy of publication, especially the tweets of world leaders, but adding to those tweets a distinguishing mark.

He said in a publication: "Seeing politicians' rhetoric is often in the public interest, and in the same way that news agencies will be informed of what a politician says, we believe that people in general should be able to see them for themselves on our platforms."

It is noteworthy that this decision to add the tags to the posts comes after Facebook was heavily criticized by its employees for refusing to censor or supervise a post from US President Donald Trump in late May. In contrast, Twitter marked a warning warning users of the president's violent speech, and prevented users from liking or retweeting the tweet.
