<p><span>EFF and more than
70 human and digital
rights groups are
calling on Mark
Zuckerberg to add real
transparency and
accountability to
Facebook’s content
removal process.
Specifically, the
groups demand that
Facebook clearly
explain how much
content it removes,
both rightly and
wrongly, and provide </span><em>all<span> </span></em><span>users
with a fair and timely
method to appeal
removals and get their
content back up.</span><br>
<br>
<span>While Facebook is
under enormous—and
still
mounting—pressure to
remove material that
is truly threatening,
without transparency,
fairness, and
processes to identify
and correct mistakes,
Facebook’s content
takedown policies too
often backfire and
silence the very
people that should
have their voices
heard on the
platform. </span></p>
<p><span>“Facebook is way
behind other platforms
when it comes to
transparency and
accountability in
content censorship
decisions,” said EFF
Senior Information
Security Counsel Nate
Cardozo. “We’re asking
Mr. Zuckerberg to
implement the Santa
Clara Principles, and
release actual numbers
detailing how often
Facebook removes
content—and how often
it does so
incorrectly.”<br>
<br>
“We know that content
moderation policies
are being unevenly
applied, and an
enormous amount of
content is being
removed improperly
each week. But we
don’t have numbers or
data that can tell us
how big the problem
is, what content is
affected the most, and
how appeals were dealt
with,” said Cardozo.
“Mr. Zuckerberg should
make transparency
about these decisions,
which affect millions
of people around the
world, a priority at
Facebook.”</span></p>

<br>
<span>“We are living in

“We made our ‘Spot the

to help people

them and understand

<p><span>Spot the
Surveillance, which
works best with a VR
headset but will also
work on standard
browsers, places users
in a 360-degree street
scene in San
Francisco. In the
scene, a young
resident is in an
encounter with police.
Users are challenged
to identify
surveillance tools by
looking around the
scene. The experience
takes approximately 10
minutes to complete.</span></p>

<p>EFF and MuckRock have
filed hundreds of public
records requests with
law enforcement agencies
around the country to
reveal how data
collected from automated
license plate readers
(ALPR) is used to track
the travel patterns of
drivers. We focused
exclusively on
departments that
contract with
surveillance vendor
Vigilant Solutions to
share data between their
ALPR systems.</p>
<p>We've released records
obtained from 200
agencies, accounting for
more than 2.5-billion
license plate scans in
2016 and 2017. This data
is collected regardless
of whether the vehicle
or its owner or driver
are suspected of being
involved in a crime. In
fact, the information
shows that 99.5% of the
license plates scanned
were not under suspicion
at the time the
vehicles’ plates were
collected.</p>
