One April 2020 document said roughly 90 percent of "hate speech" subject to content takedowns were statements of contempt, inferiority and disgust directed at White people and men, though the time frame is unclear.

I like how the article made no mention of what percentage of that 90% are white people and are towards men. Being that the article did not differentiate. Something tells me it's probably 20% against white people and 70% against men in general, regardless of race.

From the Washington Post....

Researchers also found in 2019 that the hate speech algorithms were out of step with actual reports of harmful speech on the platform. In that year, the researchers discovered that 55 percent of the content users reported to Facebook as most harmful was directed at just four minority groups: Blacks, Muslims, the LGBTQ community and Jews, according to the documents.

Looks like LGBTQ, Jews, Muslims and blacks were the target of the majority of harmful content.

The algorithms were also over-indexing on detecting less harmful content that occurred more frequently, such as “men are pigs,” rather than finding less common but more harmful content.

Looks like that's where the 90% number came from attacking men. Saying things like, "men are pigs" is so harmful towards men.

For years, Black users said that those same automated systems also mistook posts about racism as hate speech — sending the user to “Facebook jail” by blocking their account
