Mark Zuckerberg
QuestionFletcher asks whether a federal legal standard for defining domestic terror/hate organizations, similar to the State Department's foreign-terrorist-organization designation, would help Meta better track and remove harmful domestic content.
ResponseZuckerberg says he's not sure a federal standard is needed, noting Meta already classifies domestic white-supremacist organizations, militias, and QAnon-linked networks at the same severity level as foreign terrorist organizations.
