\n The DNC is calling out Facebook for its \u201cunkept promises, uneven policies,\u201d over the tech behemoth\u2019s stated commitment to combatting disinformation on its platform.<\/p>\n

In a memo released Tuesday, the Democratic National Committee chastised the social media giant for allegedly breaking its promises to limit sensationalist and polarizing content, as well as falling short on its plea to implement an adequate fact checking program.<\/p>\n

The lengthy memo also admonished Facebook for its \u201cunderdeveloped and unevenly app<\/a>lied policies,\u201d which the DNC claims allowed President Trump to publish posts that spread disinformation and incite violence.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026As Facebook was making this public commitment to stop incentivising [sic] disinformation, the company was privately doing the opposite. The company\u2019s internal \u2018Common Ground\u2019 team had found that disinformation and hyperpolarization came \u2018disproportionately from a small pool of hyperpartisan users\u2019 whose reach was amplified by the platform; and, further, that a disproportionately larger number of these voices came from the far right. The \u2018Common Ground\u2019 team proposed that these purveyors of disinformation no longer should be amplified by Facebook\u2019s algorithm,\u201d the memo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response, rather than adopting that reform, Facebook rejected it and disbanded the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DNC\u2019s accusations of disinformation on the platform center around Trump\u2019s posts that raised concern about the viability of mail-in voting, such as posts declaring that \u201cMILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES\u201d and that \u201cmailboxes will be robbed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The memo said that the posts lie about methods of voting, and that Facebook should have removed them.<\/p>\n

The Democrats\u2019 memo also said that Facebook should have removed Trump\u2019s infamous post that \u201cwhen the looting starts, the shooting starts,\u201d because it incites violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than enforcing its clear policies against such content, Facebook chose to allow the post to stay up \u2014 calling the White House to so inform them, rather than adhering to its clear policy,\u201d the DNC wrote.<\/p>\n

They also called for stricter rules surrounding false political ads, and said that there are too many delays in the fact-checking process, which allows misinformation to stay unchecked on the site for days.<\/p>\n

In the company\u2019s defense, Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said the organization has worked hard to fight misinformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2016, Facebook has worked to secure our platforms from interference, trip<\/a>led the number of people working on safety and security, and added political advertising transparency and controls, all while fighting misinformation with the help of an unmatched global network of over 70 fact-checking organizations including 10 in the U.S.,\u201d Stone said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
