Racist comments targeting politicians tripled since Meta relaxed its rules
摘要
Meta放宽平台内容审核规则一年后，反数字仇恨中心研究显示，针对两党议员的辱骂和种族主义评论数量增加了两倍，暴力威胁和仇恨言论同期增长四倍。该研究分析了约800万条Facebook评论，揭示了政策调整的直接影响。
Last year, Meta radically overhauled the rules around what content it would allow on its platforms. The company claimed that its own efforts policing speech had gone too far and that it would relax the rules around what speech was allowed. “We have been over-enforcing our rules, limiting legitimate political debate and censoring too much trivial content and subjecting too many people to frustrating enforcement actions,” Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, wrote in a blog post at the time.
Over a year later, new research from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) shows the immediate impact of these changes.
The researchers analyzed about 8 million Facebook comments and found that abusive and racist comments targeting both Republican and Democrat lawmakers tripled in the six months after the new rules were put in place. Some categories of abusive comments documented by the researchers saw even sharper rises, with violent threats and hate speech quadrupling during the same period.
