On Tuesday, both Facebook and Snapchat parent company Snap Inc. announced that they will begin taking a closer look at the racism each has been accused of allowing in their algorithms and within the company. With the Black Lives Matter movement igniting worldwide calls to action and demanding people fight for equal rights and opportunities for people of color, social media platforms are being called out for the racist technology and culture they cast blind eyes on.Most recently, Snap Inc. has been accused of having a racist company culture whereas Facebook’s Facebook and Instagram algorithms have been known to have deep-seeded racial biases.
