Former Facebook employee Mark Luckie made scathing allegations against the social media giant on Thursday, saying the Delhi riots could be avoided if Facebook had acted in time and that it can’t trusted with self-regulation. Luckie said it was true that Facebook was profiting off of hate. Luckie made these comments during his deposition before the Delhi Assembly’s Committee on Peace and Harmony which is investigating Facebook’s role in the riots that took place in Delhi earlier this year. In snippets of the video deposition, Luckie is seen as saying, “Unfortunately, hateful & divisive content often has the most shares, likes or comments which are the metrics that FB uses...Yes, Facebook is profiting off of hate.”
