🚨NEW STATEMENT
Meta Whitewashes Human Rights Impact In First Annual Human Rights Report
"Meta/Facebook always puts PR first, and today’s first ever “Human Rights Report” is a master class in spin and obfuscation."
Full statement here rfob.medium.com/meta-whitewash…
Ignoring their long-delayed Human Rights Impact Assessment on violations in India, Meta instead issues an inadequate “summary,” whitewashing the religious violence fomented in India across their platforms
Beyond India, the report is a work of fiction, denial and willful ignorance, on
1. Content moderation in Kenya and brave whistleblower #DanielMoutang
2. Lack of integrity work in elections around the world
3. Facebook conveniently fails to include the pleas from #Rohingya youth demanding accountability for violence and hate across Meta’s platforms.
Facebook conveniently downplays its own role in the spread of disinformation on Covid-19
These reports are PR, not fact, and should be treated as such.
We demand Facebook release the full, complete and un-redacted India HRIA, in consultation with civil society organizations who participated in the HRIA process.
And we call again for independent, external oversight and regulation of Facebook. Without it, a self-reporting, self-regulating Meta will continue to violate human rights with impunity and share only the details they like.
