Human rights groups say that Facebook is narrowing the scope of and delaying the process for an independent report commissioned to investigate hate speech on the tech giant's platform in India.
Representatives for the groups told The Wall Street Journal they provided hundreds of examples of inflammatory content and suggested ways the platform could better moderate content in India to the firm Facebook commissioned in mid-2020 for the report, but said the tech giant is stifling the independent report.
Facebook pushed back on the accusations that it is interfering with the report. A spokesperson for Meta, Facebook's new parent company name, said the goal is to be thorough not "meet an arbitrary deadline."
"We look forward to our independent assesor, Foley Hoag, completing their India assessment," spokesman Andy Stone told the Journal.
