Facebook’s latest response to the public outcry that resulted from the recent livestreaming of a murder on the social network, was announced moments ago when on his personal blog, Mark Zuckerberg announced that over the next year, Facebook “will be adding 3,000 people — on top of the 4,500 we have today — to review the millions of reports we get every week, and improve the process for doing it quickly.” In addition to violence, the crackdown also tragets “hate speech and child exploitation.”
Zuckerberg also notes that “we’ll keep working with local community groups and law enforcement who are in the best position to help someone if they need it — either because they’re about to harm themselves, or because they’re in danger from someone else.”
To all those who are about to spend the next few years watching videos of crime and suicide all day, every day, our condolences. As for whether Facebook will be able to eradicate violence, hate speech, and aggression, we doubt we are the only ones who are skeptical, and furthermore, we wonder when advertisers will express a similar sentiment.
