Facebook has been at the center of countless privacy controversies so far this year. But those aren’t the only ones troubling the social networking monopoly. When a local newspaper in Texas decided to post portions of the US Declaration of Independence on Facebook in the days leading up to July 4, Facebook’s automated moderation tools considered it hate speech and took down the post.

Facebook has continued to tell lawmakers after the 2016 Presidential election that it is getting control over hate speech, but the company’s automated tools fail more often than not. Several activists have lamented how their war photography is removed while extremist groups continue to post hateful content.
