This article is for subscribers only.
The NAACP civil-rights organization is demanding a meeting with Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg following revelations that the company is letting the vast majority of hate speech on its platform go unchecked.
The call for a meeting with Zuckerberg follows the release of thousands of pages of documents by former Facebook employee Frances Haugen. They exposed internal discussions about content moderation efforts, how the company treats high-profile accounts differently than other users, and the mental impact its photo-sharing app Instagram has on young people.
