One example: Twitter lets white supremacists and white nationalists have accounts, but Facebook and YouTube generally do not.
As President Trump seeks to limit social-media companies’ power, the internet’s biggest platforms have come under scrutiny yet again for how they deal with controversial content — whether it’s posted by the president or the average user.
“ ‘Where they have gotten into difficulty is around the issues of how they will enforce their rules when you’re talking about elected officials.’ ” For example, Twitter allows white supremacists and white nationalists to have Twitter accounts, whereas Facebook and YouTube generally do not. In addition, the platforms also have policies that regulate content promoting misinformation, particularly around voting.
Here’s what the world’s biggest social-media companies have said in recent months about harmful content, misinformation and hate speech: Twitter outlined in a chart how it would act on false or misleading content, depending on the propensity for harm: Misleading information with a severe propensity for harm warrants removal, for example, while disputed information with a severe propensity for harm receives a warning. Meanwhile, the company said it would take no action against unverified claims.
“There is also a fine line between false news and satire or opinion,” the company says. “For these reasons, we don’t remove false news from Facebook but instead, significantly reduce its distribution by showing it lower in the News Feed.” Facebook has also said it will provide News Feed messages to people who had previously interacted with harmful, since-removed COVID-19 misinformation, and connect them with information from reliable sources.
