2021-10-25
According to an investigation report disclosed on the 23rd, Facebook may have become a tool for inciting religious hatred in India. The report comes from an internal survey conducted by Facebook in July 2020, the report said. The report said that in the months after December 2019, the inflammatory content on Facebook was 300% higher than before, when religious protests were breaking out in India. Especially in late February 2020, rumors and voices inciting violence were widely spread on Facebook. During that period, 53 people died in Delhi due to community violence. The daily reported that a Facebook researcher registered a new account in February 2019 to try to understand how ordinary Internet users in Kerala, India experience Facebook. Over the next three weeks, the researcher saw Facebook push a lot of hate speech, error messages and violent content. India believers and Muslim Facebook users from India say they see a lot of inciting conflicts, hatred and violence in Facebook, such as the spread of COVID-19 to Muslims. At present, 340 million people in India are using Facebook, which is the company's largest market in the world. The report believes that the problem of Facebook in India is only the epitome of its global problems. (outlook new era)
