Facebook says it's adding a rule against spreading misinformation about the 2020 US census, treating such posts with extra scrutiny out of fear they could disrupt the count.
. Murphy has recommended other changes at Facebook, such as broadening the company’s definition of what counts as white nationalism and making it easier for content reviewers to see the context of a post before judging it.
Murphy told NBC News that it was difficult to determine whether Facebook would be able to address census misinformation “because the threat is unknown.” Neil Potts, a Facebook public policy director, said in an interview that resources to fight census misinformation would not be a problem, citing the 30,000 people the company has working on content review. “We’re treating the census as a top-tier election,” he said.
