Disinformation Nation: Social Media’s Role in Promoting Extremism and Misinformation (QFR Responses)

QuestionCiting that over 15% of youth social media users experience cyberbullying, with minority youth receiving disproportionately more vitriolic messages, Schakowsky asks what recourse Facebook provides at the intersection of cyberbullying and racial/ethnic hate speech.

ResponseFacebook confirms its Bullying and Harassment and Hate Speech policies apply, and specifically states it provides "heightened protections for users between the ages of 13 and 18" because bullying can have more emotional impact on minors, without addressing the specific racial-disparity data cited in the question.
