Facebook bans videos and photos from protesters at the US Capitol
Facebook has announced that it will be banning videos and photos from protesters at the US Capitol and it will delete calls for more protests that violate the curfew in Washington DC.
Facebook tried to justify the ban on videos and photos from protesters by claiming: “At this point they represent promotion of criminal activity which violates our policies.”
In addition to banning these posts, Facebook will also be automatically disabling comments on posts in Groups that “start to have a high rate of hate speech” and using artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically demote content that “likely” violates Facebook’s policies.
