@the_news_21

Wall Street Journal (WSJ) claimed that Facebook ignored the hate speech of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and its workers. However, now social media giant has clarified that it enforces policies on hate speech “without regard to anyone’s political position or party affiliation”.

“We prohibit hate speech and content that incites violence and we enforce these policies globally without regard to anyone’s political position/party affiliation. We’re making progress on enforcement and conduct regular audits of our process to ensure fairness and accuracy”, news agency ANI quoted Facebook spokesperson as saying.

Some days back WSJ published an article titled as ‘Facebook Hate-Speech Rules Collide With Indian Politics’ in which it claimed that Facebook India’s Public Policy Director Ankhi Das had told her staff members that punishing ‘violations’ by BJP leaders would hurt its business prospects in the world’s second-most populous nation, which is Facebook’s biggest global market by number of users.

Finally, the American media has come out with the truth about Facebook”, tweeted former Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
