Good morning, Daily Money subscribers, it's Nathan hoping you had a pleasant weekend! |
💻 Facebook says it's cracking down on hate speech. But internal company research suggests that effort is failing. |
That's our team's conclusion after reviewing a trove of Facebook documents as part of a consortium of news organizations that analyzed disclosures made to the Securities and Exchange Commission by whistleblower Frances Haugen. |
Less than 5% of all hate speech on Facebook is deleted, according to one estimate cited in Jessica Guynn's story today. |
"The documents provide a rare glimpse into the internal decisions made at Facebook that affect nearly 3 billion users around the globe," write our Terry Collins, Rachel Axon, Aleszu Bajak, Kenny Jacoby, Marisa Kwiatkowski and Guynn. |
