Original Note:
The claim that 90% of flagged hate speech was directed at white people and men is not supported by evidence. Reports suggest a significant portion of flagged content targeted these groups, but the 90% figure is likely exaggerated or misinterpreted. https://christianresearchnetwork.org/2021/12/02/facebook-hate-speech-algorithm-found-90-of-hate-speech-directed-at-white-people/ https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-worst-hate-speech-anti-black-race-blind-algorithm-zuckerberg-2020-12 https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-hate-speech-censorship-internal-documents-algorithms
