Facebook announced Monday that they will be removing content that “denies or distorts the Holocaust” in an effort to clamp down on hate speech on the platform.
“Organizations that study trends in hate speech are reporting increases in online attacks against many groups worldwide, and we continue our efforts to remove it,” said Monika Bickert, VP of Content Policy, in a statement. Explaining how they have banned more than 250 white supremacist organizations, as well as “updated our policies to address militia groups and QAnon,” Bickert claimed Facebook “took down 22.5 million pieces of hate speech from our platform in the second quarter of this year.”
