Facebook Removed 2.5 MILLION Pieces of ‘Hate Speech’ in Just Three Months

But my feed is filled with pro-jihad (“palestinian”) Jew-hatred. Facebook is wielding its enormous power to destroy our constitutionally-enshrined freedoms.

Facebook Removed 2.5 MILLION Pieces of ‘Hate Speech’ in Just Three Months

by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, May 15, 2018:

Facebook removed a staggering 2.5 million examples of “hate speech” from its platform in the first quarter of 2018, according to data released by the social network.

Story continues below advertisement

Facebook, which like Google is currently working on A.I. technology to identify “hate speech”, admitted that its current hate-speech-detection technology “still doesn’t work that well” and that automatically flagged content “needs to be checked by our review teams”.

Nevertheless, Facebook said that it “removed 2.5 million pieces of hate speech in Q1 2018”, and that 38 percent of it was flagged by the social network’s automated systems.

The hate speech numbers were released as part of Facebook’s first “Community Standards Enforcement Report”, which contains aggregate data on some of Facebook’s enforcement actions.

Absent from the report is a precise number of how many accounts and pages have been banned or suspended from the platform over “hate speech”, and how many have been mistakenly suspended and then restored. Facebook often mistakenly suspends the accounts of prominent conservatives only to restore them later — the most recent example being Islam critic Pamela Geller.

Also contained in the report:

  • Facebook banned “about 583 million fake accounts — most of which were disabled within minutes of registration.” (note: this is not the same as monthly active users.)
  • Facebook took down approximately 3.5 million pieces of violent content in Q1 2018, 86 percent of which was automatically detected by the social network’s technology.
  • Facebook took approximately 21 million pieces of adult nudity and sexual activity in Q1 2018, 96 percent of which was automatically detected.
  • Facebook took down 837 million pieces of spam in Q1 2018.

Facebook says the release of these numbers is part of its commitment to transparency. But, as noted above, it has not released data on how many accounts were mistakenly suspended, particularly for hate speech. Nor has the tech giant followed Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale’s suggestion that Facebook opens up its lists of banned content for independent oversight.

Facebook has admitted that its systems for automatically detecting “hate speech” don’t “work that well,” and Mark Zuckerberg himself was unable to provide a definition for “hate speech” when questioned on the subject by a Senate committee. Nevertheless, the Facebook CEO says he aims to have a functioning A.I. system to root out “hate speech” on the platform within 10 years.

Don’t want your comments removed as “hate speech” then don’t put anything on face book, as it is a tool of islam.

Facebook is a tool for islam and according to David Duke the jewish media and jewish NGO’s are tools of islam also. lefties westerners are a tool of islam also. Trump just wished “happy ramadam” to muslims also. Everybody is doing the will of mohammad! Islam belongs in USA now and will dominate the west

You’re correct, fakebook is a tool for the muzzies. They allow all the hate from them, while deleting the truth about them! Muzzies, islam, and fakebook are all like a cancer upon the Earth, and like cancer, they need to be eradicated!

Facebook cares more about offending Muslims than offending the victims of those slain by jihad and their families.

FaceBook owns the servers the content is hosted on, so they do have a right to decide what content to display and what not to. If you want to ensure your content gets published, buy your own servers and get an internet connection and internet domain name. And FaceBook probably has a lot more muslim employees and employees sympathetic to islam in their offshore offices (United Arab Emirates, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines).

When I post something on FB, it should only be visible to those who are friends. If they don’t like it, they can unfriend me or block me. Why is it Facebooks concern what anyone posts on their personal page?

“….the Facebook CEO says he aims to have a functioning A.I. system to root out “hate speech” on the platform within 10 years.” Oh, he means ALL conservative talk and conservative subscribers will be banned by then. Gee, won’t it be great; FB in ten years, will have only subscribers of one thought, one ideal. There will be absolutely no one on FB running counter opinions to the pre-packaged mantras Zuckerberg and friends demand everyone follow. My, what a wonderful time that will be.

We need competition to Facebook. It is a monopoly and the crux of the problem. I hope Trump does something about it. This is the core of the problem, because everything else won’t stop liberal Mark since he’s autonomous.

There’s something lizard-like in Zuckerberg’s eyes. Some of it is arrogance and smugness. Well, it’s his business and he can make his Happy Valley utopia, if he likes to do so. It’s always annoyed me that there is no “dislike” button on his site. It’s all Happy Valley there. But, as Flint said in In Like Flint, “It’s your idea of Utopia, not mine.”

The world was a better – and safer – place before social media and dangerous organisations like Facebook and Twitter, which have given Islamist maniacs a platform and a worldwide audience they could not have had before.

Yes, the ministry-of-love and the ministry-of-truth are doubling down in their efforts to bring about a 1984 “utopia”!

Bear in mind, however, that going AWOL from the battlefield won’t solve any problems, but makes the truth look weaker and less desirable. The more they suppress us and lie about us, the more we should be speaking the truth to and about them.

Fight the real war cheerfully, not grudgingly. Avoid resentment like the plague, or it shall quickly reduce us to their level.
