Undercover video shows Facebook is loath to delete toxic content

referring to An undercover investigation has shed new light into the often hidden process by which Facebook removes hateful or violent content from its platform. The investigation aired on Tuesday by Britain's Channel 4 centers on a Dublin-based content moderation firm called CPL Resources, which Facebook has used as its main U.K. content moderation center since 2010. An investigative reporter got a job there, revealing how CPL's content moderators decide to remove content reported by users to be hateful or harmful. It's all about making money at the end of the day," one CPL moderator told the undercover reporter. "Shocking content does not make us more money, that's just a misunderstanding of how the system works," he told Channel 4.

A million Facebook users watched a video that blurs the line between bad satire and 'fake news'

A million Facebook users watched a video that blurs the line between bad satire and 'fake news'A conservative news outlet spliced together a "satirical" interview with Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, published it on Facebook without noting it was satire, and racked up over a million views in less than 24 hours — many from people who appear convinced it's real. The video is fake, and for the people who are taking it seriously, it's news. In the fake interview, Ocasio-Cortez sheepishly shakes her head when Stuckey asks if she understands anything about politics, and she appears to think Venezuela is in the Middle East. A user who clicks through will see serious videos, including interviews, alongside the Ocasio-Cortez satire. Facebook reiterated to The Verge that "we do offer satire on Facebook, as long as it's not violating one of our community standards policies," like hate speech.

Facebook video spreads climate denial misinformation to 5 million users | Dana Nuccitelli

as declared in Morano's climate fake newsMorano begins his video by denying the 97% expert consensus on human-caused global warming. That's a valid point, except this was just one among many such climate consensus studies. This claim is similar to one made on Fox News that earned a 'Pants on Fire' rating from Politifact based on consultation with climate scientists. Human-caused global warming now far outside the range of natural variability. And of course, climate scientists have observed human fingerprints all over climate change, most recently in the atmosphere.
