Leaked Documents Show Facebook’s Role in Hate Speech in India
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 01/11/2021

The controversy surrounding the jarring information gleaned from documents recently revealed by the “Facebook Whistleblower,” has far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond the United States. Frances Haugen, the Facebook data scientist turned whistleblower, presented a wealth of  internal documentation to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, with the hope of changing the company’s ways. The documents demonstrated Facebook's attempts to curb hate speech and misinformation not only failed in the US, but that the company also provided severely ineffective moderation in their Indian market. A report contained in the leaked documents entitled "An Indian Test User's Descent into a Sea of Polarizing, Nationalistic Messages" chronicled the experience of a test user's account created in India. For the three weeks in which the test account was kept active, India was shocked by a militant attack in the disputed Kashmir region which killed over 40 Indian soldiers. The report describes the test account's newsfeed as "a near-constant barrage of polarizing nationalist content, misinformation, and violence and gore." The documents also showed that Facebook is plagued by increasing anti-Muslim propaganda spread by extreme Hindu groups.
