Facebook to update 'Community Standards' on handling satirical content
Globally used social media platform, Facebook has now decided to update its community standards to be clearer about how the company handles satirical content.
Facebook in a blog post, "We'll add information to the Community Standards that makes it clear where we consider satire as part of our assessment of context-specific decisions”.
It further added, “This change will allow teams to consider satire when assessing potential Hate Speech violations”.
The decision followed recent recommendations by the company’s Oversight Board.
The Oversight Board had made various recommendations related to the assessment of satirical content after it determined that tech giant was wrong to remove a user's comment.
“We do not allow hate speech on Facebook, even in the context of satire, because it creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion, and in some cases, may promote real-world violence,” said Facebook.
The company plans to complete this update by the end of 2021.
