\n Facebook is making changes to its hate speech policies ahead of its meeting with civil rights leaders on Tuesday, but operating chief Sheryl Sandberg insists they aren\u2019t in response to high-profile ad boycotts.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday morning post on her Facebook page, Sandberg said that the results of the company\u2019s two-year independent civil rights audit will be released Wednesday, and that Facebook will \u201csoon\u201d be implementing several unspecified proposals \u201cfrom the auditors and the wider civil rights community into practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandberg stressed that Facebook \u201cagreed to undertake the civil rights audit two years ago\u201d as the company has \u201cworked for years to try to minimize the presence of hate on our platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

The changes that Facebook is making, then, are coming \u201cnot for financial reasons or advertiser pressure, but because it is the right thing to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Still, they arrive a week into a monthlong boycott of Facebook\u2019s advertising platform that has more than 400 brands onboard \u2014 including Starbucks, Microsoft and Coca-Cola \u2014 and ahead of CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sandberg\u2019s meeting with leaders from the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP and Color of Change.<\/p>\n

Boycotters have pulled their ads in support of advocates\u2019 demands for the company to more aggressively tackle hate speech and misinformation.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg last month struck a defiant tone when asked about the boycotters during an employee town hall, saying that Facebook wouldn\u2019t change its policies \u201cbecause of a threat to a small percent of our revenue, or to any percent of our revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg also bemoaned the way that boycotters were going about trying to spark change, saying that Facebook would not be strong-armed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually I tend to think that if someone goes out there and threatens you to do something, that actually kind of puts you in a box where in some ways it\u2019s even harder to do what they want because now it looks like you\u2019re capitulating,\u201d Zuckerberg said.<\/p>\n

Facebook shares were up 1.9 percent at $244.91 in early Tuesday trades.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
