Facebook Inc. he said that 2,2 deleted billions of bogus accounts in the first quarter of 2019, a record that shows what the company is facing by people trying to undermine the authenticity of the largest social network in the world.
In the last quarter of 2018, Facebook deactivated more than 1 billion fake accounts, while 583 million accounts were deleted in the first quarter of last year alone. The vast majority of these accounts are deleted immediately, a few minutes after they are created, the company said, so they are not counted in the monthly counts of active Facebook users.
"Οι περισσότεροι ψεύτικοι λογαριασμού δημιουργούνται από spammers που προσπαθούν συνεχώς να αποφεύγουν τα συστήματά μας", δήλωσε σε δημοσιογράφους ο Guy Rosen, αντιπρόεδρος του τμήματος για την ακεραιότητα του Facebook.
Facebook also put on a new benchmark in the Thursday report:
The number of posts that were erased, promoted drugs and firearms. Facebook has written off over 1,5 millions of posts from these categories in the first three months of 2019 and said it would soon include other types of illegal activities.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg δήλωσε ότι η εταιρεία έχει αυξήσει κατά πολύ τις δαπάνες της για την "αστυνόμευση" των προϊόντων της.
"Το κεφάλαιο που μπορούμε να επενδύσουμε σε όλα τα συστήματα ασφαλείας στον προϋπολογισμός μας το 2019 είναι μεγαλύτερο από το σύνολο των εσόδων της εταιρείας μας το το 2012 "
Facebook has repeatedly promised to detect and delete posts that violate its policies and is committed to developing programs artificialof intelligence that will deal only with this. The biggest social network γνωρίζει ότι μια επαρκής παρακολούθηση και "αστυνόμευση" δεν μπορεί να γίνει μόνο με τον άνθρωπο.
According to the company, the AI algorithms it uses work very well for certain subjects, such as written violence content.
Facebook says it can detect almost 99% of all violent posts and removes them before a user reports them to the company. But the company still has a very serious problem with violent content being broadcast live video, such as the video that broadcast the terrorist attack on a New Zealand mosque.
