Sam Smith - I run a Facebook page for our Maine community and yesterday I reported:
FACEBOOK IS ACTING WEIRD
Facebook removed from our page a half dozen posts passing on reports about matters of concern to our readers such as the closing of LL Bean. Other items that were censored dealt with the effect of the coronavirus on Portland and elsewhere.
Then a few hours later, the posts reappeared. Here's the story from Reuters:
Reuters - Alphabet Inc’s YouTube, Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc warned on Monday that more videos and other content could be
erroneously removed for policy violations, as the companies empty
offices and rely on automated takedown software during the coronavirus
pandemic... In
a blog post, Google said that to reduce the need for people to come
into offices, YouTube and other business divisions are temporarily
relying more on artificial intelligence and automated tools to find
problematic content.Such software is not always as accurate as
humans, which leads to errors, it added, however. And “turnaround times
for appeals against these decisions may be slower,” it said.
