(Original title: Exclusive: Facebook employees internally question policy after India content controversy-sources, memos)

With regard to Facebook's supervision of political content, the company and its Indian lobbying executive Ankhi Das's approach to opening up to the ruling party politicians has been questioned by the company's employees.

Facebook is in a public relations and political crisis in the Indian market. It was previously reported that Das opposed the application of the company’s hate speech rules to a politician in the political party of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (Narendra Modi) .

The source said that in the United States and other parts of the world, Facebook employees are raising a question whether the company’s Indian team has followed proper procedures and content regulatory rules.

A company letter signed by 11 employees asked Facebook’s leadership to recognize and condemn “anti-Muslim bias” and to ensure more policy consistency.

“It’s hard not to feel frustrated and sad for the reported incident... In this regard, we know that it’s not just that we feel. Employees throughout the company are expressing similar emotions,” the letter said “Facebook’s Muslim community I hope to hear the attitude of the Facebook leadership in our doubts."

In recent years, Facebook has been criticized for its inadequate supervision of fake news content, false information hype with government background, and violent content.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Das told employees that applying the hate speech rule to politicians close to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruling by Prime Minister Narendra Modi "will damage the company's business prospects in the country."

In response to the report, Facebook stated that it prohibits hate speech that incites violence and implements policies regardless of political stance or party affiliation. Facebook says it has more than 300 million users in India. (Tianmen Mountain)
