Facebook has announced details of steps it is taking to remove terrorist-related content.<\/p>\n
The move comes after growing pressure from governments for technology companies to do more to take down material such as terrorist propaganda.<\/p>\n
In a series of blog posts by senior figures and an interview with the BBC, Facebook says it wants to be more open about the work it is doing.<\/p>\n
The company told the BBC it was using artificial intelligence to spot images, videos and text related to terrorism as well as clusters of fake accounts.<\/p>\n
“We want to find terrorist content immediately, before people in our community have seen it,” it said.<\/p>\n
No safe space<\/strong><\/p>\n The ability of so-called Islamic State to use technology to radicalise and recruit people has raised major questions for the large technology companies.<\/p>\n They have been criticised for running platforms used to spread extremist ideology and inspire people to carry out acts of violence.<\/p>\n Governments, and the UK in particular, have been pushing for more action in recent months, and across Europe talk has been moving towards legislation or regulation.<\/p>\n
