Zuckerberg says Facebook may never fully rid itself of hate speech and election interference
11

2018 was very challenging year for Facebook with data breaches, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, fake news and more. In a lengthy post on Facebook (via Bloomberg), CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said that the company is working hard to make sure that subscribers have control of their own information, and that Facebook's services contribute to the well-being of others.
Facebook is now using AI to remove hate speech and content related to terrorism before it can be viewed by subscribers. The News Feed now promotes news from "trusted sources," and in situations where questionable content isn't flagged by AI, a content review team (recently tripled in size) examines these posts.
"For 2018, my personal challenge has been to focus on addressing some of the most important issues facing our community -- whether that's preventing election interference, stopping the spread of hate speech and misinformation, making sure people have control of their information, and ensuring our services improve people's well-being. In each of these areas, I'm proud of the progress we've made.We're a very different company today than we were in 2016, or even a year ago. We've fundamentally altered our DNA to focus more on preventing harm in all our services, and we've systematically shifted a large portion of our company to work on preventing harm. We now have more than 30,000 people working on safety and invest billions of dollars in security yearly."-"-Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder, CEO, Facebook
Some of the other businesses owned by Facebook include WhatsApp, Instagram and Oculus.
