Another day, another congressional hearing on how tech companies are conducting themselves. This time it was Facebook, Twitter and YouTube that testified before the House Judiciary Committee today, in a hearing titled "Examining the Content Filtering Practices of Social Media Giants."
[...] couldn't give members of the committee a firm answer on what exactly it takes to ban offensive pages from Facebook.

Rep. Gaetz then asked Bickert why Facebook wouldn't just remove pages repeatedly posting harmful content, particularly if they're threatening violence. She said the company removes pages, groups and profiles when "there's a certain threshold of violations that has been met," but that's on a case-by-case basis.

On the other hand, Juniper Downs, Gobal Policy Lead for YouTube, told the committee that the company typically terminates channels after three strikes. That's a system Facebook would likely benefit from, since it could keep offenders from making and promoting toxic content regularly.
