BREAKING NEWS – Menlo Park, California – Facebook accidentally set a “hate speech” button live on its platform for a short period of time, a company spokesperson confirmed in a statement Tuesday. The button asked users: “Does this contain hate speech?” The spokesperson said the company was conducting an “internal test” in an attempt to understand “different types of speech, including speech we thought would not be hate.” They said a bug caused the button to launch publicly but it has since been disabled. Facebook Vice President Guy Rosen defined hate speech as “any commentary that liberals don’t like, all references to the bible, and anyone criticizing Hillary Clinton while praising Donald Trump.”
