Facebook has not done enough to fix its hate-speech problem in India

Facebook has been selectively curbing hate speech, misinformation, and inflammatory posts—particularly anti-Muslim content—in India, according to more than a dozen leaked internal memos and studies seen by the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Associated Press. Facebook sees India as one of the most “at risk countries”in the world, meaning that the company recognizes it needs better algorithms and teams to respond to events in almost real-time. India is Facebook’s largest market with at least 340 million Facebook accounts and 400 million WhatsApp users.
