The Biden campaign has sent a letter to Facebook accusing it of backsliding on its policies to remove election disinformation.
The head of Joe Biden's election campaign has written a scathing letter to Facebook accusing the social network of backsliding. As reported by Axios, campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon says that the platform remains “the nation’s foremost propagator of disinformation,” and is still allowing high-profile figures to mislead voters. Dillon focuses on a posting from Donald J. Trump Jr.
Dillon adds that the campaign, as well as several other organizations, raised concerns over the post, but Facebook chose not to remove it. When the campaign contacted Facebook for an explanation as to why the video was not removed, the letter adds, the platform neglected to provide any additional detail. The only amendment the platform made was to add a content label, which Dillon says was “buried on the top right corner of the screen where many viewers will miss it.
And earlier this month, The Verge reported that Zuckerberg refused to let Kaplan engage with employees who are critical of his role. The CEO said that he believes Kaplan to be “very rigorous and principled in his thinking,” and said any criticism of the executive was “troubling.” The Verge previously published comment from Zuckerberg saying that Facebook would “fight” any attempts at regulation should Senator Elizabeth Warren become president.
