COO Sheryl Sandberg will chair the cluster.
Facebook released the second update to its in progress civil rights audit.
Facebook is creating an internal civil
rights task force permanent, COO Sheryl Sandberg said in a blog post Sunday, a choice that grew out of an ongoing review of the civil rights impact of the social
network’s policies and practices. The task force, which includes key leadership and is to be chaired by
Sandberg, will concentrate on Facebook’s content
policies, the fairness of its AI,
and problems relating to privacy and
elections, areas Facebook have struggled with.
In her post, Sandberg said the social network was
committed to recruiting people with
civil rights experience to
serve on the task force. as an
example, it’ll work with voting rights experts to make sure the social network isn’t used to suppress or intimidate
some voters.
