When the company said it had removed a Wisconsin militia group and an event page together with the organization following a deadly shooting, the company’s explanation wasn’t all accurate.
While Facebook did remove the Kenosha Group from its platform, the event that asked gun owners to demonstrate against the protestors wasn’t fully remove by the company. According to internal posts on company forums, the “Armed Citizens to Protect our Lives and Property,” event was deleted by its creators before Facebook took down the Kenosha Guard group.
Facebook had said at the time that it deleted both the group and the event page. The company has been widely accused of not taking action against the Kenosha Guard group and its event prior to the shooting. The company responded to those reports by saying the event didn’t go against its rule, but they later confirmed that it did.
“It is largely an operational mistake,” Zuckerberg said. “The team that enforces our policy against dangerous orgs is a specialized team… the contractors and reviewers who the initial complaints were funneled to didn’t pick this up.”
