Facebook Reports Taking Action on Tens of Millions of Posts, Photos, Videos

Facebook took action against tens of millions of posts, photos and videos over the past six months for violating its rules that prohibit hate speech, harassment and child sexual exploitation, illustrating the vast scale of the tech giant’s task in cleaning up its services from harm and abuse. The company revealed the data about its policy enforcement to the world as part of its latest transparency report, which it said reflected its still-improving efforts to use artificial intelligence to spot harmful content before users ever see it and outwit those who try to evade its censors.
