"Harmful coordination by real accounts" appears to mean mass-reporting and brigading. The truth is, that because Facebook's moderation is so unreliable, with innocent comments frequently leading to bans, while actual death threats and incitement to violence are deemed "not in violation of our community standards", mass-reporting and brigading are among the only recourse real users have to get actual harmful content removed. They're not reliable, of course, and they can be used by all sides, but if Facebook is effective at this, we're looking at a situation where Facebook only does something when Zuckerberg is hauled in front of Congress over something. I'm glad I haven't been on Facebook for many years now, but opting out isn't a solution for everyone.
- Y_Y 5y agoIs there anything to be said for leaving the harmful content there? If the crapflood made people like facebook less, or get more skeptical, or made the company get serious about not shoveling manipulative garbage down people psyches then I'd be pleased. I know "deplatforming" seems like a good idea, and is effective in the short term, it just strikes me as ultimately the wrong level at which to attack anti-social behaviour on "social networks".
