France will be watching Facebook

paris - France sends a team to Facebook to see how the tech company tackles digital hate mongering. According to the French president Emmanuel Macron, it is a unique experiment that should last about half a year.

Macron announced the initiative on the Internet Governance Forum in Paris. The French leader said that Facebook has given permission for the arrival of French officials. From January onwards, they will see whether the control of, among other things, sexist and racial material can be improved.
