Facebook: Our AI tools failed to catch New Zealand attack video, time delays aren’t the answer
Late Wednesday, Facebook said the video of the New Zealand mosque shootings revealed gaps in its handling of live broadcasts. Photo: Paul Sakuma/Associated Press By Niharika Mandhana March 21, 2019 4:15 a.m. ET Facebook Inc. FB 2.40% said the gruesome video of the New Zealand mosque shootings revealed gaps in its handling of live broadcasts by users, but pushed back against the idea of setting up a time delay.
Mr. Rosen also said the video wasn’t prioritized for accelerated review once it was flagged by a user because its accelerated reviews are focused on reports of suicide attempts. The details of the way in which the video was uploaded, spread and detected show the limitations of Facebook’s efforts to police its platform and remove bad content. The site has come under fire in many parts of the world—from Myanmar to Sri Lanka—for failing to take action against hate speech, fake news and misinformation.
