Congressman, but as a mother that is raising two muslim boys in this world as i ask you this question. For years advocacy have been pleading with you and your team to prohibit hate groups from using the events page which fuel violence against africanamerican, muslims, jews and the lgbt community. And you said you were serious about addressing it and you state and i quote, we do not allow hate groups on facebook and if there is a group that a primary purpose or a large part of what theyre doing is spreading hate we will ban them from the platform overall. So mr. Zuckerberg, yes or no, is it still your policy to ban hate groups. My understanding is yes. Facebooks Community Standard as it reads, quote, we are committed to making facebook a safe place. Very good. Expression that threatens people has the potential to intimidate, exclude others isnt going to be allowed on facebook. I want to refer to a photo up on the monitor holding a man holding a rifle outside of a mosquen t mosque intimidating community does this fill your standards . Im not sure im in a position rid now to evaluate any given post against all of the different standards that we have. So white supremist hate groups still regularly use the events pages to organize threatening protests in front of mosques and these protesters are often armed. The hateful rally in this picture was planned on a Facebook Event page, and i do want to submit for the record, madam chairwoman, a press release and statement from muslim advocates, muslim civil Rights Groups to zuckerberg reported hate groups are still on facebook, and then also a newsweek article that says facebook has failed to stop antimuslim groups despite Mark Zuckerbergs pledge. Without objection. So is the order. Why havent you stopped facebook from using the events page and are you leaving the events page up . Thank you. This is an area they think is very important and i take very seriously. Its very hard to police every instance of this and a lot of the content and the stories youre talking about i would tomorrowly condemn. I dont think this is any of the thing they want on any of the platforms and i am committed to invest more and do a better job here. I were not perfect. We make a lot of mistakes. You know, theres people share across our services more than 100 billion pieces of content a day. Even if we make mistakes on a relatively small percent, thats still a lot of mistakes in both directions, things that take down that shouldnt be taken down and things that we miss that we leave up that we should have gotten to, and this is a constant effort to do better as of the state of the art and the technology improves, certainly the state of a. I. Today to be able to identify Different Things is so much better than it was five years ago, but these are this is really hard stuff. Even if you assume, for example, that the photo that youre saying would have been against the policies and even within that, we have nuances in the policies like you might be allowed to share it if youre condemning it which seems like its important, and it if there is a racist attack you would be able to show the video condemning it and you wouldnt want to see the video of the same attack glorifying it and urging others to copy it. That is nuance and we operate in many countries around the world. This has been hard for us to execute, as well as you and i would like us to, but we are improving and i think this is an area that i take very seriously. Thank you. Recently facebook has taken the step further by permitting politicians to violate their Community Standards. Mr. Zuckerberg, why should the very politicians who lead our country be held to a lower standard for truthfulness and decency than the average american . Congresswoman, this isnt about helping the politicians. This is about making sure that people can see for themselves i know, but mr. Zuckerberg. It is hate speech. It is hate and its leading to violence and Death Threats in my office. Its untruthful and i understand that folks are working on it, right . On your team, but if its leading to actual real violence towards people that are innocent, that are not these are untruthful statements and also those that, you kno
