REUTERS: Several U.S. civil rights groups called upon some of the world's largest companies to pause advertising on Facebook Inc in July, saying the social network is not doing enough to stop hate speech on its platforms.
Facebook policy chief Nick Clegg told reporters in a call that the company"emphatically stands against hate speech" and removed 10 million hateful posts from its services last quarter. Much of the protest activity has played out on social media, as has organizing by far-right groups promoting racism and violence.Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg was criticized after Facebook left untouched a post by President Donald Trump about the protests which critics said was racially charged and violated company rules against inciting violence.
