Gooden hits Meta's 'woefully inadequate' response on policies regarding illegal immigration

Rep. Lance Gooden hit out at a “woefully inadequate” response from Meta to his queries about its policies regarding content that helps people enter the United States illegally

Gooden is one of a number of Republicans who has raised concerns about Facebook’s policies regarding content on illegal immigration. The Tech Transparency Project said in April that it first identified the existence of 50 pages and private groups advertising human smuggling and provided their names to Facebook after the company had asked. While some were deactivated, in September the group said it identified an additional 40 Facebook pages and 17 Facebook groups that openly sell illegal border crossings.
