In 2014 there was a mini scandal in Sweden about Facebook allowing a page titled "Vitmakt neger slakt" (roughly translating to "White power nigger slaughter") dedicated to what you expect a page with that name, with absolutely no irony attached, be dedicated to stay up despite multiple reports of hate speech [1]. A spokesperson from Facebook Sweden had to explain himself and he said that the reports were sent to a team in Dublin to be reviewed. When asked if the page was viewed by any Facebook staff who can read Swedish at any time during the review process, since it is clearly hate speech to anyone with half a brain, he couldn't say. The page was taken down a few hours after media ran the story. I have a hard time feeling sorry for Facebook about all this work they have to do now to make sure the political discourse on their platform isn't bonkers. They're killing off a lot of media companies and now they're shocked, shocked, that all those ethical demands people made to the media industry is being directed at Facebook instead. What the hell did they expect? [1]https://www.metro.se/artikel/facebook-plockar-inte-ner-negerslakt-sida-trots-anm%C3%A4lningar-xr https://www.metro.se/artikel/facebook-plockar-inte-ner-neger...
