FACEBOOK'S MARK ZUCKERBERG HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE

HIRING 3000 NEW EMPLOYEES TO HELP COMBAT VIOLENCE THAT PEOPLE

Present continuous

HE SAID IN A STATEMENT, "OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WE'VE

SEEN PEOPLE HURTING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS ON FACEBOOK,

PEOPLE TO ITS GLOBAL COMMUNITY OPERATIONS TEAM TO HELP

REVIEW THE MILLIONS OF REPORTS WE GET EVERY WEEK.

THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE 4500 PEOPLE ALREADY ON THE TEAM."

THAT COMES JUST WEEKS AFTER A CLEVELAND MURDER WAS STREAMED

LIVE ON THE FACEBOOK, AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT A MAN IN

THAILAND POSTED A VIDEO OF HIM KILLING HIS 11

AND THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT CASES OF PEOPLE SORT OF BROADCASTING

THESE HORRENDOUS, VIOLENT ACTS ONTO THE SITE.

THEY ARE WORKING TO CREATE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

THAT CAN PREVENT SOME OF THESE ACTS, BUT IN THE MEANTIME,

HIRING 3000 PEOPLE SEEMS LIKE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

MECHANICAL TURK'S, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE HIRING.

THAT'S THE NAME OF THAT TYPE OF PERSON WHO DOES A JOB THAT

MECHANICAL TURK'S, YET IT'S BACK FROM, THERE WAS AN EXPO WHERE

SOMEONE WAS LIKE, A LOOK AT MY MACHINE AND WHAT IT'S DOING, BUT

THERE WAS JUST SOMEBODY INSIDE WORKING IT.

IF IT'S JUST YOUR JOB, YOU HAVE TO WATCH, FIRST OFF, ANY

INCLUDING THIS ONE THAT WE ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW.

THIS ONE IS FINE, BECAUSE WE PREPARED IT.

BUT THE JOB OF GOING THROUGH THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN

WOULD BE SUCH A TERRIBLE JOB, BUT I'M GLAD THEY ARE DOING IT.

MARK ZUCKERBERG SAYS THAT IN A FEW CASES THEY HAVE ACTUALLY

BEEN ABLE TO STOP PEOPLE FROM COMMITTING SUICIDE, SO EVEN

GOING THROUGH AND WATCHING ALL OF THESE FACEBOOK LIVE STREAMS

THAT WERE BEING REPORTED WOULD PROBABLY BE TEDIOUS, OR MAYBE

ANNOYING, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BEING ABLE TO INTERVENE

SOMEBODY FROM COMMITTING SUICIDE OR A VIOLENT ACT WOULD

ACTUALLY BE A PRETTY AMAZING JOB, I FEEL LIKE.

THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE ARE USING SOME KIND OF NEW TECHNOLOGY IN

THE FURTHERANCE OF GETTING ATTENTION FOR THEIR CRIMES, LIKE

THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND IT'S NOT JUST

FACEBOOK LIVE, BECAUSE BEFORE THAT IT WAS TELEVISION, WE

RADIO, SURE, THE FACT THAT YOU ARE TALKING ON RADIO TO INSPIRE

PANDEMONIUM AND BRING ATTENTION, WAR OF THE WORLDS, IT'S

SO IT IS GOOD THAT FACEBOOK HAS TAKEN THIS INPUT AND MADE A

CHANGE, AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT TOO, ZUCKERBERG, IT DOESN'T

IT SEEMS LIKE THE NUMBER ONE CONFLICT FACING FACEBOOK,

IS ON THE ONE HAND THEIR BELIEF THAT THEIR TECHNOLOGY CAN

SOLVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS, AND GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE WE

ARE GETTING THERE, REALLY CLOSE, AND THE REALITY THAT, UNTIL

YOU SOLVE IT, YOU STILL HAVE A BIG PROBLEM, AND THIS IS THEIR

ATTEMPT TO MAKE A GOOD-FAITH EFFORT TO THE POPULATION AT

LARGE TO PUT PEOPLE THERE UNTIL THE AI IS STRONG ENOUGH.

I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT SOME OF

THESE VIOLENT VIDEOS DO GO UP ON FACEBOOK.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OBVIOUS, POLICE

SHOOTINGS, AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT HAVE BEEN BROADCAST, OR THE

AFTERMATH THAT HAVE BEEN BROADCAST ONTO THE WEBSITE, I

THINK ARE VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT GETS PEOPLE TO SEE SOME OF

THE OUTRAGEOUS THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY, AND

AROUND THE WORLD, AND GET OUTRAGED BY IT, AND I GUESS

BUILD COMMUNITIES AROUND IT SO THAT THEY CAN FIGHT AGAINST IT.

SO I DO THINK THAT ASPECT OF IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, SO I WONDER

IF IT'S JUST IN TERMS OF CENSORSHIP, WHICH I THINK

CAN BE DANGEROUS, BUT IF IT'S INTERVENING SO THAT THEY

CAN HELP THE SITUATION, I DO THINK IT COULD HAVE A REAL

AND LIKE, YOU JUST MENTIONED, ANY INSTANCE OF INJUSTICE,

THE FIRST REACTION THAT PEOPLE HAVE NOW IS PULLING OUT

THEIR PHONES AND EITHER DOCUMENTING IT, OR

SOMETIMES EVEN GOING ON FACEBOOK LIVE AND LIVE STREAMING IT.

AND YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IN A LOT OF

POLICE SHOOTINGS, OR EVEN THE UNITED AIRLINES PASSENGER

SCENARIO, WHICH WAS, AGAIN, SOMEWHAT POLICE BRUTALITY

INVOLVED AS WELL, WE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT, AND WE

THAT IS AN UNINTENDED, BUT GREAT CONSEQUENCE OF THIS NEW

TECHNOLOGY; THE ABILITY TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH THE

REST OF THE WORLD IMMEDIATELY, AND WHILE IT'S HAPPENING.

IT'S A TOOL, IT'S A FORUM, FOR THE MOST PART PEOPLE USE IT IN

DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT AS WE TALKED ABOUT ON THE SHOW YESTERDAY,

THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE FACEBOOK ITSELF HAS INFLUENCED

THEIR BEHAVIOR, WHEN THEY READ MORE NEGATIVE STORIES, THIS

IS FACEBOOK COMING TO THE REALIZATION THAT, IN ADDITION

TO BEING THIS FORUM FOR PEOPLE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH

IT, THERE IS SOME RESPONSIBILITY THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE, AND

IT SEEMS HERE THAT THIS IS ONE WAY THAT THEY ARE TAKING IT.
