Although social media giant Facebook is aware of the “shortage of Hindi and Bengali seekers”, RSS users, groups and pages are aware of anti-Muslim narratives, but a whisper has been filed with the US security services.
Complaints that Facebook’s language skills are “insufficient” and lead to “global misinformation and ethnic violence” are among the many signs Whisper Francis Hawgen, A former Facebook employee, opposes Facebook practices with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Citing an unsolicited Facebook document titled “Advertising Harmful Networks: The Case Study of India”, Whistleblower Aid, a non-profit law firm, filed a complaint with the US SEC on behalf of Hawgen’s notes: This content has never been referenced or implemented, and we have not yet offered the designation of this group for political sensitivity (RSS).
Classifiers refer to Facebook’s hate-speech detection algorithms. According to Facebook, since the beginning of 2020, Bengali has added hate speech in Hindi. The creators of the Hindi and Bengali riots and incitement groups first came online in early 2021.
Eight documents containing several complaints in Hawgen have been uploaded to CBS News. Hausa revealed her identity for the first time in an interview with the news network on Monday.
In a detailed interview with The Indian Express, a federal Facebook spokesman said: Over the years, we have invested heavily in technology that is aware of suggestion, even before people report it to us. We now use this technology alongside 40 languages around the world to actively identify infringing content in Hindi and Bengali.
The company said it had “actively” removed 8.77 million hate speech content in India from May 15, 2021 to August 31, 2021, and reached more than 40,000 people working on safety and security issues. Including more than 15,000 dedicated content reviewers. “As a result, we have reduced the spread of hate speech around the world – which means the amount of content that people actually see – has increased by almost 50 percent on Facebook in the last three quarters and by 0.05 percent of all content now. . In addition, we have a content review team covering 20 Indian languages. “As hate speech against marginalized groups continues to increase globally, we will continue to improve and we are committed to updating our policies as hate speech improves online,” he said.
Not only did Facebook learn about the content of the forum, but it also gained influence through posts shared by politicians through another study. The “results of misinformation shared by politicians” in an internal document were found to include “extreme risk of misinformation” by politicians in India, and this has resulted in “social-stimulating” out-of-context video. Anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim sentiments ”
An Indian-based example of how Facebook algorithms recommend content and “groups” to individuals is based on a survey conducted by the company in West Bengal. It was found to be “false.” Over 30 million users have accumulated over L28 to review the most over-the-top VPVs, or insights. L28 is called the active user bucket during the month mentioned on Facebook.
Another complaint highlighted the lack of a “single user multiple accounts”, or SUMAs, or duplicate rules on Facebook, and cited internal documents to describe the use of “SUMAs in international political discourse.” The complaint alleges that “an internal approach was used by the BJP of India to use SUMA to promote a Hindu message.”
Requests sent to RSS and BJP were not returned.
Complaints, in particular, are marked in red as “deep redistribution” leads to misinformation and violence. Reshare Depth has been described as the number of hops in the first Facebook post in the Reshare chain.
India is one of the top buyers on Facebook in terms of policy priorities. As of January-March 2020, India has been part of the “Level 0” countries with Brazil and the United States. “Level 1” includes Germany, Indonesia, Iran, Israel and Italy.
According to the Civic Summit Q1 2020, the “Summary of False Information” was a US international budget distribution aimed at eliminating, minimizing, informing, and misrepresenting FB applications. For these purposes, 87 percent of the budget is allocated to the United States, while the rest of the world (India, France and Italy) allocates the remaining 13 percent. The complaint added, “This is despite the fact that the United States and Canada account for about 10 percent of the” daily active users. “
India is one of the largest markets for Facebook in terms of 410 million Facebook users, 530 million and 210 million WhatsApp and Instagram users, respectively.
On Tuesday, Hawgen appeared before the US Senate committee, alleging a lack of Facebook control for the company, which has a “terrible impact on many people.”
Following the Senate hearing, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said: “The argument that people are deliberately pushing for profit is unfounded. We make money from ads, and advertisers constantly tell us that they do not want their ads to be harmful or offensive. And I don’t know of any technology company that wants to build products that irritate people or cause depression. Moral, business and product incentives all point in the opposite direction.
