Facebook will finally address racial issues on its platform, including Instagram, by creating new internal teams that will study how its algorithms impact minority users as compared with white users.
Facebook recently confirmed its plan to perform an internal audit on the way it manages hate speech on the platform in light of boycotts by major advertisers over the issue. Walmart, Verizon, Ford, and Microsoft are some of the big ad spenders on the social network to have joined the „Stop Hate for Profit“ campaign calling on advertisers to withdraw their spending on the platform until Facebook addresses hate speech and racial issues.
