“Ads claiming that people are of a certain origin, nationality, gender or sexual orientation will now be removed,” she writes. BBC.
A few weeks ago, Facebook became the target of criticism for failing to remove or label some of the controversial statements made by US President Donald Trump as problematic. Although Zuckerberg personally condemned them, he stressed that it was in people’s interest to keep them accessible.
The controversial contribution of the American president concerned the situation after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis after the police intervention.
According to Zuckerberg, Facebook will identify as relevant those posts that are published by prominent politicians but will violate its rules. “I am against hatred and everything that incites violence,” he said.
Facebook will thus delete apparently false information just before the autumn presidential election. Zuckerberg has promised to remove content that is not fair and discourages people from voting.
