These discussions reflect the diversity of human experience: some are enlightening and informative, others are humorous and entertaining, and others still are political or religious. Some can also be hateful and ugly. Facebook is an open platform for all ideas, a place where we want to encourage self-expression, connection and sharing. At the same time, when people come to Facebook, we always want them to feel welcome and safe. That’s why we have rules against bullying, harassing and threatening someone.At this Open House, we hope to answer your questions about how we define hate speech and our approach to removing it — as well as some of the complexities that arise when it comes to creating community standards at a global scale.
