Facebook urged to be more transparent over 'censorship'
In a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, the group accused the social network of "Disproportionate censorship of Facebook users of colour". Facebook has previously responded to a letter submitted by the group, but has not yet replied to the latest one. "Activists in the Movement for Black Lives have routinely reported the takedown of images discussing racism and during protests, with the justification that it violates Facebook's community standards," the coalition wrote. Provide a process that allowed members to appeal when a post was removed by a Facebook moderator give members a specific explanation of which rules or guidelines had been broken when a post was removed train moderators to better understand and avoid discrimination publish a public report about the number of posts removed by Facebook, and what percentage of them were classed as hate speech. In a statement, Facebook said: "We have received the letter and are reviewing it."
