"[T]here are forces that use Hashtags in a harmful way and we do not have a consistent, well-socialized way to approach Integrity challenges on Hashtags."
"Hashtags are built by the community and the community has a voice. If we start filtering media which is non-rec, we are suppressing voice. We should NOT filter non-recommendable content from Hashtag pages."
"Hashtags are a source of many escalations, since the policy on hashtags is not well understood, and frankly is confusing even to us. Unfortunately, there are forces that use Hashtags in a harmful way and we do not have a consistent, well-socialized way to approach Integrity challenges on Hashtags. Being a complex object, hashtags has many touchpoints that across different surfaces and products and IG that each have their own
nuances. Hence, it is all the more important to have a consistent, well- socialized policy/protocol/enforcement strategy for each of these touch- points to holistically tackle integrity challenges on Hashtags."
