Zuckerberg lovar hårdare tag mot hat och rasism
Facebook kommer att förbjuda annonser som hetsar mot minoriteter och invandrare. Det beskedet gav grundaren och vd:n Mark Zuckerberg i dag, skriver flera medier.
Zuckerberg skriver i ett inlägg på sin egen plattform att alla annonser som utmålar specifika etniska, religiösa och minoritetsgrupper som hot ska stoppas. Dessutom kommer man vara mer aktiv i arbetet att länka till bekräftad och faktakollad information i inlägg från politiker och andra samhällsaktörer.
Beskedet kommer efter att flera företag meddelat att de bojkottar Facebook som annonsplattform om företaget inte tar krafttag mot hatet.
