Facebook First Allows Event to Harass Graham, Then Allows Group to Stay on Platform
22nd September 2020
Facebook, essentially allowed activists to organize on the platform to harass a sitting U.S. senator about how he intends to vote concerning a replacement for deceased Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. When contacted and asked why Facebook allowed the organization that posted the event to remain on the platform, a Facebook spokesperson merely replied by sharing Facebook’s community standards on bullying. Facebook then wrote, “Specifically: ‘Threatening to release an individual’s private phone number, residential address, or email address,’” and provided no further context.
