Social media giant Facebook has said the prevalence of hate speech on its platform has gone down by nearly 50%. The report comes amid the criticism by the media over the social media firm's inability to tackle hate speech. "According to our latest Community Standards Enforcement report, its prevalence is about 0.05% of content viewed or about five views per every 10,000," said Guy Rosen, Vice-President of Integrity at Facebook.
