Facebook bows to campaign groups over 'hate speech'

Seems to me that Facebook is experiencing one fail right after the other. Every time they put out one fire, another one is lit.

Facebook has said it will review how it deals with "controversial, harmful and hateful" content after admitting current measures are not effective.

The admission follows sustained pressure from campaign groups, advertisers and the media.

An open letter from several feminist groups urged Facebook to ban pages that they said promoted violence.

In a blog post, the social network said: "We need to do better - and we will."

The company said it would begin rolling out changes immediately after it became "clear that our systems to identify and remove hate speech have failed to work as effectively as we would like".
