Facebook is striving to fight terror-related content on its platform. Use of both artificial intelligence, and human expertise has increased.
–
Recently, artificial intelligence was introduced to perform advanced image analysis, and text comprehension to detect terror-related content.
–
‘While artificial intelligence on its own can’t detect all terror-related content, technology is priceless for a platform like Facebook, where globally, today nearly two billion users are writing in more than 80 languages’, reported Facebook in a press release via their Norwegian communications agency.
–
Facebook will also increase capacity of 3,000 employees in the department, which manually evaluate the reported content of Facebook users.
–
The social network has already created a common database with Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube, in which terror-related images and movies get their own, unique, ‘digital fingerprints’, and may be easily be detected and stopped.

Now, if Facebook can turn their high-tech armoury against pornography, maybe the family friendly site can climb down from being the foremost purveyor of hard-core porn in the world today.
