This article is 1 year old and a lot of highlighted content is 2 or 3 years old. FB was investing heavily in increasing hate speech removal per zucks post. Do you have more up to date data that shows the opposite?

"Joel Finkelstein is the director of the Network Contagion Research Institute, which tracks hateful ideology online. He says that Facebook has become a key place for members of the Boogaloo movement to organize, recruit and discuss communication strategies through the use of private groups." Earlier this month. I don't see how anyone who has had any experience with Facebook can not know that it is crammed full of violent neo-fascists.

  The “boogaloo” movement isn’t a neo-fascist hate movement; its orientation is much more anti-government and anti-police.

  You seriously need to step friending violent neo-fascists.

    One of the features I loved facebook for was meme groups. There are some really good ones, and many more quite awful ones. And once you join one shitposting group, facebook thinks you need to join all the shitpost groups -- and vice verse; non-private groups attract members from all tarnation. And that's how I came to meet neo-fascists on facebook, despite having about a dozen carefully selected, non-fascist, IRL-first friends. And then I quit the site after it started pushing far-right content on me after consistently negative reactions to the same.

I reported multiple FB users for denying the holocaust and general anti-semitic speech. FB's response was that I should educate them and they were not breaking any of FB's policies. Seems like FB still thinks that way at least around holocaust denial. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/01/26/auschwitz-liberation-ban-holocaust-denial-on-facebook-column/4555483002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/01/26/auschwitz-...
