More than 30 House Democrats sign a letter asking Facebook to address hate speech targeting women — particularly for women candidates and political leaders.
, twenty state attorneys general asked Facebook to limit hate speech and help the victims of harassment.
Women in politics are targets of attacks including manipulated images, false news stories, doxxing and sexualized profiles, according to the letter, which was co-signed by more than 60 international lawmakers and sent to Facebook on Thursday.“Much of the most hateful content directed at women on Facebook is amplified by your algorithms which reward extreme and dangerous points of view with greater reach and visibility creating a fertile breeding ground for bias to grow,” the letter says.
The letter asks Facebook to do more to remove posts and accounts that threaten or glorify violence against women, and remove hate speech targeting women, including violent, objectifying or dehumanizing speech. It also asks that Facebook remove manipulated images or videos misrepresenting women public figures.
