  • FACEBOOK'S MARK ZUCKERBERG HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE

  • HIRING 3000 NEW EMPLOYEES TO HELP COMBAT VIOLENCE THAT PEOPLE

  • ARE SCREAMING ON TO FACEBOOK LIVE.

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

  • SEEN PEOPLE HURTING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS ON FACEBOOK,

  • EITHER IN LIFE OR VIDEO POSTED LATER.

  • THE COMPANY WILL ADD 3000

  • 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

  • MONTH-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

  • 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.

  • WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

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

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

  • YOU THINK IS BEING DONE BY A MACHINE.

  • REALLY?

  • 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.

  • WORST JOB EVER, IT SEEMS LIKE.

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

  • FACEBOOK LIVE'S.

  • 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.

  • LET ME OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE.

  • 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

  • AND MAYBE STOP SOMEBODY FROM BEING ñ

  • 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

  • TALKED ABOUT A ñ THAT ON THE SHOW ONCE.

  • RADIO?

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

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

  • BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.

  • SOMEONE WAS SHOT ON LIVE TELEVISION.

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

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

  • SEEM LIKE HE IS A NEFARIOUS PERSON.

  • 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

  • HOW THE INTERVENING WILL GO.

  • 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

  • POSITIVE IMPACT.

  • 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

  • WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACT TO IT.

  • 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

  • PEOPLE'S OUTLOOK ON THE WORLD.

  • 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.

  • WE STILL NEED TO HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE.

  • YEAH, I THINK THEY ARE REALIZING HOW INFLUENTIAL THEY ARE.

  • WHEN ñ BUT WHEN YOU CAN POTENTIALLY STOP A VIOLENT ACT,

  • WHERE THINGS ARE SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE AND CHANGING THE WAY

  • THAT PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING, AND THE LEGISLATION THAT'S

  • HAPPENING, I DO THINK THAT IS A DIFFERENT --
