Expanding Our Policies on Voter Suppression

As part of an ongoing effort to keep people from abusing Facebook during the election period, we are expanding our policy for oppression of voters - actions aimed at preventing or deterring voting. These updates are designed to deal with the new exploits seen online.

False statements regarding purchase, sale, date of voting, location, time, and eligibility are prohibited. We are deleting this content from 2016. The following is an example.

Last month, we further expanded this policy and banned false statements about the voting method, including statements about whether you can vote on SMS or whether to vote. (For example, even if you vote in the primary election, your vote will not be counted in the general election.) We recently introduced a new reporting option on Facebook. Because the voting information is incorrect, special reporting channels are set up so that the same report can be made to the state election management agencies.

We recognize that some of the posts reported to us require further review. For example, we can not confirm all allegations to the conditions of voting sites around the world (eg "Elementary school has been flooded, the voting place is closed"). In such a case, we will send the contents to third party factual inspectors for judgment. Content evaluated as false is ranked lower in the news feed along with additional information (what we call related articles) written by our fact inspector on the same topic.

Expanding our policy is just one of the measures we took to strengthen the integrity of global elections. We are also familiar with detecting and deleting bogus accounts and improving the transparency of politically and problematic advertisements on the platform. You can learn more about our election work from our chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.

This report focuses on voter policy support to expand voters and improve voter experience. Some of it includes protecting the right to express the views of all eligible Americans. In other words, we will cancel the suppression of the voters. Eligible Americans' voices are suppressed when eligible individuals are rejected by public opinion polls or removed from the state registry due to qualified laws and cumbersome practices. In each election cycle, countless qualified Americans are prohibited from voting for voter control measures, including strict voter qualification law, voter cleaning, and documentation of voter registration citizenship requirements. This is usually based on fraudulent claims by false voters, but in practice it makes the voting process more difficult for certain groups, especially groups of color people.

There were 11 NAACP national laws against voter repression and 1002 mile Selma voting against Washington State, but continued detention of voters. President Trump and the so - called voter sincerity committee have persisted myths of voter fraud while helping and encouraging voter repression. What should I do now? How do we oppose this decided voting attack? We should learn from patriots from lowland countries of South Carolina. In years after abolition of slavery, the wages of these former slaves were approaching starvation. In order to further exacerbate unbearable things, wages of black workers in rice farms are not wages, but illegal letters or unpaid money. In the summer of 1876, black workers striked and refused to harvest rice. Strikers encountered violence, producers opposed, political boycotting occurred. When the plantation owner agreed to pay strikers in cash, the strike was settled.
