Facebook’s India chief said Friday the social media giant denounces hate and bigotry in the wake of a controversy sparked by a media report alleging it failed to remove hate-speech posted by members linked to the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party over fears of damaging its business in the country.      "We've made progress on tackling hate speech on our platform, but we need to do more," Facebook India's managing director Ajit Mohan said in an online post that denied any bias.
