Sheryl Sandberg's comments come on the same day the NAACP is launching a week-long boycott of the service, and amid growing calls to clean up the platform. Facebook releases the findings of a civil rights audit, highlighting particular areas of concern on the platform. Facebook has acknowledged and addressed many of the civil rights abuses outlined in the audit report. But as bad actors get increasingly clever and find new ways to manipulate Facebook users, the company faces new challenges and changing calls for action.

I’m not sure how civil rights can be abused by Facebook users on Facebook.

[a fool in paradise]

USERS are violating other users’ civil rights at fakebook?

I doubt it.

Fakebook and the companies that fakebook is selling user data to compromises civil rights. Fakebook shadowbans and censorship violate civil rights.

But how are mere users violating civil rights?

What she means is that conservatives sometimes slip through the filters and write things that leftist snowflakes consider it their civil right to never be exposed to.

Hell with Facebook. The most useless platform out there.
