Facebook is not doing enough to protect users from discrimination, falsehoods and incitement to violence.

That's the conclusion released Wednesday from an external civil rights audit of the social media giant that was two years in the making.

The audit, which Facebook commissioned, specifically calls out the social network for what is described as a series of harmful decisions, including a "terrible precedent" not to intervene in posts in recent weeks by President Donald Trump, which could allow the platform to be "weaponized to suppress voting."

And went on to say Facebook has been too willing to exempt politicians from its rules, letting some spread misinformation, harmful and divisive rhetoric, and even calls to violence.

Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg in a post said Facebook stands firmly against hate and "what has become increasingly clear is that we have a long way to go." But Facebook did not outline any steps to address the issues raised in the report.

The audit adds further pressure one day after civil rights groups ended a video conference with Facebook execs - feeling disappointed with what they say was a lack of concrete action on the side of Facebook to tackle hate speech.

These civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League have rallied some 900 firms to stop buying ads on Facebook. Among them, Coca-Cola, which says it doesn’t want to promote its products alongside hate speech.
