Facebook disabled more than 1.3 billion fake accounts between October and December 2020. This is just one of the data that the company highlighted in a blog post on Monday, detailing the company’s efforts to combat misinformation ahead of a House hearing later this week. According to the blog post, Facebook has more than 35,000 employees dedicated to resolving misinformation on its platform.
The social network said that with the help of its artificial intelligence system, it has also deleted more than 12 million content with COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation. In the past three years, it has removed more than 100 from its platform. A coordinated network of untrue behaviors.
“Despite these efforts, there are still people who believe that we have economic benefits in turning a blind eye to misinformation. The fact is the opposite. We are fully motivated to keep misinformation away from our applications, and we have taken many measures to sacrifice user growth and Participation is the price.” Facebook vice president Guy Rosen wrote in a blog post.
