Facebook says it has been able to detect and remove “considerably more hate speech than before” as it faces criticism over failure to keep a check on content that promotes violence. News18 reported.

In a blog post published recently, the company said it was making fundamental changes to products to “address virality and reduce the spread of content that can amplify and exacerbate violence and conflict.”

“In Myanmar, we have started to reduce the distribution of all content shared by people who have demonstrated a pattern of posting content that violates our Community Standards, an approach that we may roll out in other countries if it proves successful in mitigating harm,” The post said.

The company said it is using new applications of Artificial Intelligence(AI) to more “effectively combat hate speech online.”
