On Thursday, the tech giant tried to reset perceptions, showcasing the work it's been doing to "build community and bring the world closer together." More than 400 community leaders gathered at the social network's Menlo Park, California, headquarters for the company's third annual communities summit. Live music filled the air as attendees shuffled into a room filled with bright colors.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who kicked off the summit, acknowledged that the company is going through a challenging time and needs to do more to prevent harm on the platform because "the bad threatens to drown out the good."
