> The three-step process on “how to fight” with Facebook’s built-in tools is simple and intuitive: For a targeted Facebook page, E47 users are asked to rate it with one star out of five, falsely flag the page’s posts as containing either a credible threat of violence or suicide, and then report the page itself as spam. Other E47 targeted operations ask the group’s over 3,400 members to falsely report other Community Standards violations like pornography — then spam the target page with actual rule-breaking violent or pornographic comments, essentially planting evidence of a bannable offense.
E47 can't be the the only group using those tactics, right? It's mind-boggling that Facebook's definition of "inauthentic behavior" is apparently limited to the use of fake accounts and doesn't consider false reports as equally "inauthentic".

- Barrin92 6y agoI doubt Facebook even invests enough resources in skilled personnel, well versed in the language and culture to make those difficult judgements. When Facebook was used as a platform for racial violence in Myanmar IIRC Facebook had three(!) Burmese speakers in Dublin. In particular because these countries are so populous but represent only a tiny fraction of their market share it's probably even worse than it is in affluent countries.
- bigbubba 6y agoWhat is the significance of Dublin in this circumstance? Is their Dublin office the one responsible for moderation?
- maxfurman 6y agoNot GP, but it indicates that they have zero actual presence in the country.
