Meta platforms and terms of service

[bluestater]

Does anyone have any insights into what might be done to pressure Meta to bar violent anti-MAP rhetoric on its platforms--either explicitly in its terms of service or informally, by construing their terms of service differently?

[BLueRibbon]

I doubt they'll do much unless it's affecting their bottom line, or causing excessive regulatory pressure.

You could try reporting comments to the police if they cross a legal line, but I doubt the police would care much.

I assume you tried reporting the comments to Meta but they refused to do anything?

Probably nothing you can do about it. They list convicted sex offender as those who are not allowed to use Facebook, so they likely do not care about the violent anti-MAP rhetoric.

3. Your commitments to Facebook and our community

We provide these services to you and others to help advance our mission. In exchange, we need you to make the following commitments:

3.1 Who can use Facebook

We try to make Facebook broadly available to everyone, but you cannot use Facebook if:
You are under 13 years old.
You are a convicted sex offender.
We've previously disabled your account for violations of our Terms, the , or other terms and policies that apply to your use of Facebook. If we disable your account for a violation of our Terms, the , or other terms and policies, you agree not to create another account without our permission. Receiving permission to create a new account is provided at our sole discretion, and does not mean or imply that the disciplinary action was wrong or without cause.
You are prohibited from receiving our products, services, or software under applicable laws.

So anyone can freely post comments on Facebook stating that a named convicted sex offender should be tortured, murdered, or raped... but that person can't sign up to defend himself.

I can't believe we don't see more RSOs going postal.

The fact we don't see a lot of RSOs going postal should be a clear indicator the majority of RSOs are not violent/terrible people. They just want to express a form of love that society forbids.
