How Facebook did little about fake news and hate speech in India - a podcast by The Indian Express

Last month, a former Facebook employee named Frances Haugen leaked thousands of internal memos of the company. These memos show that Facebook knew that problems of misinformation, hate speech, and targeting of minorities are rampant on its platform, but did very little to address them.

And this was also true specifically for its India operations. Now, a consortium of global news organisations, including The Indian Express, have been reviewing these leaked documents. In this episode, Aashish Aaryan, who is part of the team examining them, joins us to talk about what these memos reveal.
