I'm still stuck at "Community"...
1. Lets be honest, are social media users a "community" or are they the product?
2. Even if we assume that the users are a community, who have to abide by "community standards" that they did not participate in their making (and without independent recourse), does that not make social media platforms a new form of tyrannical 21st Century pseudo-world-government?
3. The word community has socialist connotations. It gives users (products) a sense of platform ownership (emphasis on "sense of"). How come problems (and intangible benefits) belong to the community but material benefits exclusively belong to a few individuals? Perhaps platforms would be less problematic if they were community owned and operated.
4. When will global platforms start paying taxes fairly in each jurisdiction?
5. When will they stop operating illegally in some jurisdictions where they extract value (e.g. failing to set up a local office, failing to register for PIN, failing to register for VAT as required by law)?

I'm curious to understand why the notice Mutemi received says "Warning" yet the content of the message is essentially an apology from Facebook. Also, does raising the issue here point to Facebook's internal moderation and online complaint handling mechanisms within the platform being ineffective, especially for those who can't get in touch directly with Mercy/Ebele?

During the very informative "Talk to Facebook" session organised by KICTANet, and attended by both Ebele and Mutemi wa Kiama, the issue of content moderation was discussed at length.
It is very helpful when this issue is discussed here, and the final resolution shared. It will help us document how such challenges are handled.
Content producers, bloggers, activists, human rights defenders, and civil society organisations use the power of the Internet, and especially social media tools to report, pitch, organize, mobilize, and inform. They find especially Facebook to be very helpful in their work. Revolutions all over the world have happened in social media changing the direction of society. The protagonists are usually Governments or large organisations. These protagonists have mastered the game, and understood how content moderation works. They mobilize an army of social media users (sometimes even botnets) to spear and report a single social media account as having infringed on some social standards. This speared account is then brought down, or the content moderated. We have seen this happen to one particular twitter account which was not very friendly to the establishment. I have seen this tactic employed by cryptocurrency rivals to bring down opponents.
We should understand the difficult environment social media platforms have to go through navigating social-political challenges all over the globe. Governments themselves have grown to be very assertive, and some even try to mimic the China model of banning platforms all-together to reign on their citizens. On the other hand, platforms have to find a balance to grow market share without the wrath of governments. It is business suicide for platforms not to conform to government standards else they will loose market share. The important thing is find a working balance.
Facebook should understand the political environment it operates in, and communicate clearly how it handles politically incorrect accounts. Perhaps, another "Talk to Facebook" is due.

Dear Ebele & FB team,
Once again thanks for the prompt response.
Am sure Mercy and team are following the conversation though I got a vacation/traveling responder from her email. For the benefit of Listers here who could be having similar concerns, could we keep the conversation here?
I appreciate your response vis a vis difficulty moderating global cultural attitudes towards skin, genitalia and nudity as well as need to protect children. However, surely the three images I attach here again for your benefit do not fit in that mould?
I would really appreciate your advice on what is considered offensive in these three images, especially considering someone in my FB Community could have reported them. It will also be useful in guiding my own self moderation.

Mercy and George are the right contacts, and you can engage directly, w/out posting your account details to KICTAnet. She will need the link to the specific pieces of content you are addressing, as well.
Mercy and Fadzai can explain in more detail, but it is highly unlikely that most of the content you are describing was removed as a result of algorithms. The most likely scenario is that it was reported by a member of your own Facebook community. It was then reviewed by one of our human reviewers, and if the content was fully frontal nudity, was removed as being against policy. We continue to grapple with how to craft and implement global policies that address the most harm while allowing the most speech. As a result of significant risk related to child exploitation content and consent, our rules currently do not allow for images of children’s genitalia. I am a mother, of African children. I recognize that my cute picture of my son in the bath is not child exploitation content, but unfortunately, at scale it is very difficult to apply a rule that recognizes that nuance, and which would leave up my cute naked African child and take down that same cute African child in an account that, for ex, collects images of those cute naked children w/out the consent of their parents and posts them on a page for the review of less benign viewers. Note that this is not actually an “African” problem (many Danish and French and Bangladeshi and Fijian mothers/cultures also want to post pictures of naked children) , and also note the implications of allowing only African children to be depicted nude on our platforms while taking down
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pictures
of European children.
We have often hosted “ask me anything” and similar events discussing our content policies. They are useful for helping to give an understanding of the amount of thought that goes into creating and enforcing. It’s impossible for these global rules to be perfect, and feedback is welcomed, but it’s also most useful with an understanding of the context in which they were created. Mercy would be delighted to explore whether another one for this community would be of interest.
In the meantime, these articles are illuminating-there might be a paywall-alas, nothing I can do about that.

Thank you Ebele for your quick response. Here is a link to the profile: https://www.facebook.com/MutemiWaKiama
Additionally, the FB algorithms also seem no to recognise that some African nudity is not culturally "inappropriate", eg young boys swimming in a river, or the two children I have attached in the original email.
