TMC questions ‘inaction’ of Facebook India against hate posts

The Trinamool Congress on Tuesday questioned whether the Facebook knows about the alleged inaction of its India team against certain “hate posts”.

The party’s spokesperson Mahua Moitra claimed that these hate-filled posts have led to the loss of lives, property, looting, arson and communal violence over the last three years across India.

The Trinamool Congress’s attack on the social media giant came after the Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook did not apply its hate speech rules to some BJP leaders.

Moitra, a member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT, posted a video on social media, questioning whether Facebook bosses knew about the actions of its team in India.
