Disinformation Nation: Social Media’s Role in Promoting Extremism and Misinformation (QFR Responses)
Questioner: Jan Schakowsky
Jan Schakowsky
Respondent not recorded
QuestionSchakowsky presses Zuckerberg to clarify whether his repeated "99%" removal-rate claims for terrorist propaganda, human trafficking, and CSAM content mean 99% of what Facebook catches, versus 99% of all such content that actually exists — noting a study finding the real removal rate may be only 25-30%.
ResponseFacebook does not directly reconcile its "99%" removal claim against the cited 25-30% study, instead pivoting to its "prevalence" methodology and reporting specific Q4 2020 upper-limit prevalence figures: terrorism content at no more than 0.07% of views, and "child nudity and sexual exploitation of children" content at no more than 0.05% of views.
