The United States government has been pressing Facebook over time so that the social network can fight so-called Fake News and monitor users to prevent the spread of violent content.
The surveillance within the social network seems to be working. An example of this is that Facebook banned a comedian for 30 days after she posted a comment that said "men are scum", in free translation, "men are scum". The attitude caused Marcia Belsky to end up being punished. The social network used as justification that she was attacking people for their gender, which goes against the policies of the social network.

According to her, hate speech between genders cannot be treated in the same way. In relation to misogyny (hatred of the female gender) there is a structure of domestic violence and femicide that accompanies the entire resource. In relation to misandry (hatred of the male gender), according to the comedian, there is no support for it to denote a problem by itself.
With Facebook's attitude, according to Belsky, shows how Facebook is quicker to punish women than to act in the act in cases of machismo.
