Facebook has revealed the scale of problematic content on its platform and Instagram.

The company has published its latest "Community Standards Enforcement Report", in which it details how it is enforcing its policies on what content is allowed on Instagram and Facebook.

It also said that it would be taking new steps to be more transparent about how those decisions are made, amid ongoing controversy about what content is available on its platforms.

The latest report covers the final quarter of 2020, between October and December. As such, it covers the US election and other votes around the world, but not the insurrection in the Capitol last month, or the ban of Donald Trump that followed it.
