Have Facebook take action to immediately remove racist hate speech

The Issue

Please sign and share this petition if you feel Facebook has failed to immediately take action in seeing the removal of racist hate speech from comments sections or anywhere on the social media platform in this time. As the world fights to dismantle racism and fight for justice and equality for ALL, we need to ensure Facebook is fully on board and committed to adapting a ZERO TOLERANCE policy and will see to the immediate removal of racist HATE SPEECH of any kind at all times !

HATE SPEECH DEFINITION : abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a particular group, especially on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation. 

Facebook Community Standards                                                                          Objectible Content Part 3.                                                                                              Number 12.                                                                                                                    Hate Speech link》https://m.facebook.com/communitystandards/hate_speech

*Policy Rationale
We do not allow hate speech on Facebook because it creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion and in some cases may promote real-world violence.We define hate speech as a direct attack on people based on what we call protected characteristics — race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, caste, sex, gender, gender identity, and serious disease or disability. We protect against attacks on the basis of age when age is paired with another protected characteristic, and also provide certain protections for immigration status. We define attack as violent or dehumanizing speech, statements of inferiority, or calls for exclusion or segregation.
