Hate reports against the black population will now be handled as a priority by Facebook. Because these should usually be taken more seriously than the hate messages to whites. They hope to use this approach to reduce the "excessive effects" on minorities. The algorithms that must recognize such hate messages will be adapted for this. Facebook reported this to The Washington Post.
YouTube
YouTube also wants to reduce hurtful messages on their platform. Therefore, they ask all users to think twice before posting a comment that contains unauthorized content. Their algorithm is also being adjusted. This was reported by YouTube itself.

Due to the European privacy regulation, certain Facebook Messenger options can no longer be used. This starts from December 16 and the companies have already been informed. For example, the attachments and buttons would no longer be displayed. This applies to all 27 EU countries and Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the United Kingdom. European citizens who work with company accounts are also included.
The Netherlands / Google
In the Netherlands, the infotainment system Android Auto could be used in the coming months. Google officially announced this in a blog post. This is extremely useful for people who want to connect their Android phone to the dashboard screen in the car to navigate, for example. Belgium and Luxembourg could also benefit from this. In total, Google would bring the system to 36 countries.
