In an attempt to stem the flow of posts inciting violence online, Facebook’s parent company Meta (META.O) said it had designated Brazil as a “temporary high-risk location” and removed content calling for people to take up arms or forcibly invade government buildings.However, four days after the uprising, human rights organisation Global Witness found Facebook was still allowing ads containing death threats and other calls to violence on its platform.Using fake accounts, the group submitted 16 bogus ads to run on the platform, 14 of which were approved for publication.“In the aftermath of the violence in Brasilia, Facebook said they were ‘actively monitoring’ the situation and removing content in violation of their policies.“YouTube’s much stronger response demonstrates that the test we have set is possible to pass.”Meta spokesperson Mitch Henderson said Global Witness’ small sample of ads was not representative of how the company enforced its policies at scale."
