Media outfit Internews has published a report slamming Meta’s Trusted Partner programme.
This programme is supposed to give human rights groups a priority channel to alert Meta to harmful and dangerous content posted on Facebook and Instagram with the aim of identifying and removing this content as quickly as possible.
However the report claims that some organisations have received long delays when reporting this content – the same delays regular users of the social media platforms experience when making similar reports.
Response times were slow, inconsistent, and in some cases Meta has failed to react at all to even the most dangerous and time-sensitive content such as calls for and threats of imminent harm.
