Facebook today said it updated its hate speech policy to include a ban on images of blackface and anti-Semitic tropes
its hate speech policy to include a ban on images of blackface and anti-Semitic tropes.
The company said it changed its standards to "more specifically account for certain kinds of implicit hate speech," including caricatures of Black people in the form of blackface and Jewish people running the world or controlling major institutions such as media networks, the economy or the government.
Facebook has been under renewed pressure to do more to quash racism on its platforms following the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, at the hands of the police in the U.S. in May. In its report on Tuesday, the company said it took action against 22.5 million pieces of content containing hate speech between April and June, a leap from the 9.6 million pieces of content it similarly admonished during the first three months of the year. Facebook did not say if the actions referred to post removals, warning labels or other measures.
On its photo-sharing platform, Instagram, the company took action against 3.3 million pieces of content, which also marks a sizable jump from 809,000 pieces during the first three months of the year.
