Facebook will use AI to cut down on offensive posts

The CEO of world’s largest and most popular social media platform has started writing weekly blogs leading up to the New Year. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook says 2018 has been a year of change and has been, “…addressing the most important issues facing Facebook,”.

Recently Zuckerberg wrote a post titled, “A Blueprint for Content Governance and Enforcement,”. In it Zuckerberg describes why he created Facebook, and why he believes it’s good for everyone.

“I believe the world is better when more people have a voice to share their experiences, and when traditional gatekeepers like governments and media companies don’t control what ideas can be expressed.”

In the note, he also expresses concern about the damage Facebook can, and has done.

“We have a responsibility to keep people safe on our services — whether from terrorism, bullying, or other threats. We also have a broader social responsibility to help bring people closer together — against polarization and extremism.”

Zuckerberg goes on to say that over the last few years, he’s seen Facebook used as a tool for people to spread misinformation, interfere with elections and incite violence. And he wants these things to stop happening.
