In it he mentions that the hate shared on Facebook could easily be stopped if the network's collaborators and managers wanted it.
I find the lack of accountability very disturbing but I am sure that if they are challenged and if there are many of us who demand change, then change will come, she mentioned.
Her post was also a response to a video by Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Katie Porter (D-Calif.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.)
They challenged Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. At this meeting they mentioned the company's inability to adequately control hate speech, its refusal to ban false statements in advertising, and its new digital currency project.

Hate on social networks
A UN expert previously called on countries like the United States and social media companies to implement stronger policies to combat hate speech on their platforms.
David Kay calls on governments and companies to align their policies with international law and noted that:
Victims of sexual harassment on social networks
Online hate is no less harmful because it is online. On the contrary, this type of hate, with the speed and scope of its spread, can cause serious harm in real life and is almost always aimed at silencing others. The question is not whether to address that abuse, it is how to do it in a way that respects everyone's rights, he says.
Unfortunately, it has been shown that companies like Facebook are failing to adequately manage the activity that occurs on the platforms. Despite this, activists like Greta continue to pressure companies to improve this situation.
The movement continues to advance
Greta Thunberg's activism began in August 2018 with a banner that read: “ Skolstrejk för klimatet ” (“ school strike for the climate ” in Spanish). Since then, her movement has sought to mobilize people through a protest every Friday in different parts of the world.
Watch the following video and learn a little more about this activist who is fighting for a more sustainable world:
The protest aims to awaken society and share the importance of teamwork to improve the conditions of the planet. Greta Thunberg is the inspirational leader of this activist movement and responsible for more people, especially of the generation and although many young people have shown their loyalty to them, there are people who have taken advantage of their image:
I apologize to anyone who has been contacted, and perhaps even misled, by this type of behavior. I hope that those who want to communicate sincerely with me do so using recognized channels. The good news in all of this is that this just means we are having an impact. Activism works. And see you in the streets!
Other statements from Greta
The movement that Greta has generated in favor of the fight against climate change and her statements related to other social issues, encouraged a new species of beetle to bear her name.
The recently described Nelloptodes gretas belong to a group of some of the smallest free-living animals known.
Michael Darby is a Scientific Associate at the Museum and has honored Greta by naming a new species after her , noting that these species are special and stand out from the others.
In addition to this news and the fight against Facebook, Greta issued a criticism against President Donald Trump, who called climate change a "lie" and whose administration pursues an anti-environmental agenda.
"My message to him is just listen to the science, and obviously he doesn't do that," Thunberg said at the time.
Trump has declared on several occasions that climate change is a "lie" and a hoax created by the Chinese.
Despite this, and without their support, several organizations and companies have promoted environmental projects to continue this fight against climate change.
