Facebook, listen to yourself: “because we did not have enough content depicting first-person footage of violent events to effectively train our machine learning technology.” You have a sickness. http://newsroom.fb.com/...

You've gotta parse the wording, but Facebook basically acknowledges that its removals of terrorist content have been unilaterally focused on ISIS/Al-Qaeda. It wasn't until *mid-2018* that Facebook began going after white supremacist organizations. https://newsroom.fb.com/...

Facebook's blog post in prep for tomorrow's hearing on ‘combating hate and extremism’ is missing the transparency the company promises and is required by regulators & users. How much terrorist content is being actioned against on Instagram? Why is it omitted from their reports?

The last paragraph of this seems to make a distinction between community policing and counter terrorism. I'd say experience shows community cops are *intrinsic* to combating violent extremism. Terrorists hate normality. https://www.bbc.co.uk/...
