“We did so because we were seeing an inordinate amount of hate, abuse, misogyny and threats in the comments under our stories. Our story subjects were attacked. Other commenters were attacked. Our journalists were attacked. Misinformation and disinformation were rife.

When we did share stories to Facebook, we spent a huge amount of time and effort cleaning up the sludge.” —
