Facebook Has No Standards
Each time we report a post on Facebook citing hate speech towards disabled people, the response is that it doesn’t breach Facebook’s Community Standards. How can they have standards when they allow hate speech to remain on their platform?
Through our #FacebookHasNoStandards campaign we’re taking on Facebook and pushing for them to change their reporting system to Facebook a safer place for disabled people.
Take 30 minutes of your day to listen to our stories of times people have made assumptions about us because of our disability, find out why we’re putting Nick Clegg in a giant game of Where’s Wally and how you can play a part in making sure social media platforms are a safe place for everyone.
