Facebook is Jelena Jensen Archivesbroadening its definition of hate speech.
On Tuesday, Facebook released its latest Community Standards Enforcement Report, which breaks down the content it took down for violating its policies between April and June 2020
Along with details about the millions of posts it removed for spreading coronavirus misinformation, Facebook unveiled two new policiesmeant to tackle hate speech.
Facebook will now ban content depicting blackface. The social network will also prohibit stereotypes about Jewish people running the world or “controlling major institutions such as media networks, the economy or the government.” The policy will be enforced on both Facebook and Instagram.

According to Bickert, the policy is not yet being enforced and Facebook will work to consider context, such as users posting a photo of a politician using blackface in order to raise awareness about their actions.
Facebook’s new blackface policy has already created a bit of a controversyin the Netherlands. Dutch outlet NU.nl reported that a Facebook spokesperson clarified to them that the ban extends to Zwarte Piet, also known as Black Peter, a folk character that accompanies St. Nicholas on Christmas.

On the call, Bickert clarified that the point of the policy was to “stop people from using blackface to target or mock black people.” She said Facebook is still looking into the design and implementation of the rules as they relate to Zwarte Piet.
Bickert was also asked about the Jewish stereotype policy and if that would extend to Holocaust denial. Right now, the policy only covers stereotypes regarding Jewish people running the world or major industries.
Facebook has long struggled with hate speech on its platform. The social networking giant has had some odd rulesover the years, such as banning posts related to "white supremacy" but allowing white nationalist content. The company reversed that decision and bannedboth in 2019.
