Facebook chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg, pictured earlier this month in France, told reporters on Thursday that the tech giant is making nice strides in fighting hate speech and crime online.
Facebook says it removed 3.39 billion fake accounts from October to March. That’s double the amount of fraudulent
accounts deleted in the previous
six-month period.
In the company’s latest Community
Standards enforcement Report, released Thursday, Facebook said nearly
all of the fake accounts
were caught by AI and more human observation. They also attributed the
skyrocketing variety to
“automated attacks by bad actors who attempt to create massive volumes of accounts
at one time.”
