Platform Protection

The company is planning to reduce a significant number of roles in its content moderation department in London, with labor groups and internet security professionals raising concerns that humans are being replaced by AI moderation.
A company official clarified that people-led review would remain essential, but artificial intelligence can safeguard staff by eliminating the most harmful content before it is viewed by people.
