Hate Speech will destroy Facebook - Brian Shares

From this Techcrunch article comes this (which we should all know already):

Globally the company maintains it has around 35,000 people working on trust and safety, less than half of whom (~15,000) are dedicated content reviewers. But with such a tiny content reviewer workforce for a global platform with 2.2BN+ users posting night and day all around the world there’s no plausible no way for it to stay on top of its hate speech problem.

There's no way Facebook (or any of the other social media platforms) can survive if they bow to the left's demands to censor "hate speech" and where the definition of hate speech is anything the far-left doesn't like. The only "plausible" way to stay on top of its hate speech problem is to not have a hate speech policy and thus no problem.

From a business point of view its obvious this isn't going to scale. This specific article is and the activist report its based on is seriously trying to imply that Facebook may be responsible for a coming genocide because it doesn't deal with anti-Islamic posts. Just look at the headline and lede:

Facebook is failing to prevent another human rights tragedy playing out on its platform, report warns

A report by campaign group Avaaz examining how Facebook’s platform is being used to spread hate speech in the Assam region of North East India suggests the company is once again failing to prevent its platform from being turned into a weapon to fuel ethnic violence.

If Facebook continues yielding to the increasingly hysterical demands of the anti speech zealots of the far-left, their business will be destroyed, that is if our law suit in Australia doesn't do it first!

AI is a long way from being able to do this work, it's not coming along fast enough. Perhaps it is possible that a completely devolved policing system like Steem's can work at scale, we just don't know yet.
