The NAACP and Anti-Defamation League are leading a pressure campaign against Facebook to more strictly censor content on the platform.

The civil rights groups are partnering with a handful of other progressive activist organizations to pressure Facebook to censor user content deemed to be “promoting hate, bigotry, racism, antisemitism and violence.” The progressive ad-targeting group Sleeping Giants, media-advocacy groups Free Press and Common Sense Media, and the civil-rights group Color of Change are all contributing to the effort.
