Exclusive: public figures considered to be permissible targets for otherwise-banned abuse, leaked moderator guidelines show

- Decoding emojis and defining ‘support’: Facebook’s rules for content revealed
Facebook’s bullying and harassment policy explicitly allows for “public figures” to be targeted in ways otherwise banned on the site, including “calls for [their] death”, according to a tranche of internal moderator guidelines leaked to the Guardian.
Public figures are defined by Facebook to include people whose claim to fame may be simply a large social media following or infrequent coverage in local newspapers. They are considered to be permissible targets for certain types of abuse “because we want to allow discussion, which often includes critical commentary of people who are featured in the news”, Facebook explains to its moderators.

‘I don’t feel safe’: Asians in the UK reflect on a year of hatred

Sean Hannity, Dan Bongino Use Colorado Shooting To Slam BLM Protests
The mass shooting that killed 10 people, including a police officer, at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday prompted Fox News host Sean Hannity to rant against Black Lives Matter.
Wait, what?
If you find that ridiculous, wait until you actually hear Hannity attempt to make the stupefying connection with guest Dan Bongino in the video below. Bongino is the guy who’s basically replacing the late Rush Limbaugh on the radio.
Hannity noted the “horrific shooting” and pivoted to an incendiary diatribe against last summer’s protests for justice.
