Facebook has a whole code of censorship of seemingly harmless emoticons
For users, an emoji (emoticon) is just an illustration that helps make conversations more lively and fun. But for Facebook, emoji is also a sign to recognize nuances of negative content. Therefore, Facebook has a list of emoji that need to be selected and evaluated to block bad and invalid news.
According to Motherboard news page, below is a picture of the list of emoji items related to negative content that needs to be handled and cared for, only circulated internally within Facebook for processing. Including the emoticons that users never expected.
This document is entitled "How to handle Emoji", along with a brief line "Please rely on context to decide whether or not bad content is shown through emoji".
These include items such as "criticism, defamation", "sexual harassment", "violent attacks", "bullying, sarcasm", "boycott", "humiliation of human dignity" . and others. The seemingly harmless emoji (animal symbol, normal facial expression) can also be easily put into check by Facebook when needed.
Each censorship of Facebook is assigned to take charge of a fixed area of the world. Therefore, in order to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings when censoring, they must understand the local culture they are in charge of understanding the implications of the emoji hidden here (if any). In the process of working, if you recognize the signs that emoji are likely to be used for bad purposes, they can also suggest adding these emoji to the list to check.
