Iowa’s Attorney General demands Facebook work harder to stop “spread hate and disinformation”

Tom Miller, Iowa Attorney General

DES MOINES – Some user of Facebook nave noticed that the hate and disinformation is thick, and now Iowa’s Attorney General and his peers in other states are demanding that  Facebook work harder to stop “spread hate and disinformation”

We’re joining 19 AGs in calling on Facebook to take additional steps to prevent the site from being used to spread hate and disinformation. We urge Facebook to provide stronger support for users who fall victim to online intimidation and harassment on its platforms.
The letter to Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg and Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg states that “[p]rivate parties, organized groups and public officials continue to use Facebook to spread misinformation and project messages of hate against different groups of Americans,” with many of those messages leading to the abuse of individual Facebook users.
The letter follows the release of a Civil Rights Audit of Facebook’s practices — commissioned by the company and completed in July — that faults Facebook for failing to advance civil rights, and refusing to enforce its own policies against dangerous organizations and individuals, including white supremacists and other extremists.
