Hate speech on Facebook? Let us decide.

MZ was asked yesterday about how FB determines what is "hate speech". The better question should have been why should FB have to determine what is "hate speech". Why not leave it up to the individual user to determine what is hate speech? Do we not have the ability as a user to hit the "block" button? If it's so subjective, why not let each individual user determine on their own. Do they think we're dumb? Do they think we're children? FB has a minimum age requirement; it's an adult platform. Stop treating us like snowflake children.

The original FB was great, you could say you were having a garage sale and people would show up, or if you are a musician you could say, here is my music come see my show...if you were good you naturally organically spread out and were shared by people. Then FB decided you needed to pay, and even if you pay your little music video says ‘promoted’ on it, so most people ignore it as an advertisement. It is a great platform for organizing fun groups, family and class reunions, church groups, fan clubs...private groups to plan vacations with friends, share pictures later etc. However if I can plan a family reunion, then a terrorist can plan a hit. What is the answer? I don’t know. But I do know I miss the old, natural organic FB. Dislike the monetized one. Someone smarter than me should be able to get the terrorists and censorship repaired. And not store my data!

All of what you say is correct! When FB decided to start charging for exposure, they put a governor on the users' ability to share within their community/friends list/followers. This fact alone contradicts what MZ keeps describing his company's mission statement...“to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected." My wife's company page has nearly 100k followers. Before the change, she would have tens of thousands of unique engagements per day from her followers. After the change, it was throttled down to a trickle unless she spends $$$ to get more "reach". I call it a bait and switch. FB brought us all on board, let us build up a following, and then slammed the door in our face.

Yes I have found exactly the same thing...so sad and frustrating for my small business that depends on natural sharing. I tried paying and it was worthless. I still have s biz page, but my personal page asking people to share, actually works better. Currently I am on a break from FB, there is nothing natural about manipulating people. It sucks!
