Sunday’s video is among most extreme examples of social-media giant’s tools being used to promote or showcase violence

A video of a murder posted on Facebook Inc. by a Cleveland man is further ratcheting up pressure on the social-media giant to more closely monitor the content on its platforms.

On Sunday, 37-year-old Steve Stephens posted a video of himself allegedly approaching an older man and shooting him in the head. He later went on Facebook Live, the instantaneous broadcasting tool, to talk about this and other alleged crimes. It took Facebook several hours to remove the posts, according to various media reports.

 

 

Current and former employees at Facebook said its content-moderation teams were trained to remove offensive or violent live videos, such as beheadings and pornography. As of earlier this year, live-video reports were handled by a small, specialized team of contractors in the Bay Area who work around the clock in eight-hour shifts.

Why the heck facebook is still relying on people to handle offensive videos?

Why aren't they using ML and NLP to identify/rank the offensive videos and send those to humans to quickly take action.
