Upsetting but not surprising story from @CraigSilverman @RMac18 @PranavDixit details how Facebook prioritizes the US and Western Europe in its policy response. An internal memo from a FB data scientist lists Ukraine among the countries affected. buzzfeednews.com/article/craigs…
Here's a little about why we all suffer from Facebook's negligent content moderation practices, and why we in the West are privileged when we suggest "boycotting" Facebook: medium.com/@nina.jankowic…
And more on what I tracked when I reported from Ukraine (in short: negligence) during the country's 2019 presidential election, with support from @pulitzercenter politico.eu/article/facebo…
I've brought up the effects this sort of policy has at multiple meetings w/ industry folks and there is always some sort of lame excuse, or worse, pointing to diversity metrics, which doesn't help if you're not directing & supporting those diverse populations to protect democracy
this is why we need oversight and mandated transparencyyyyyyy
