Reynaldo Gonzalez's daughter, Nohemi, was among the 130 people killed in last year's Paris terror attacks. Now R. Gonzalez is suing Twitter, Facebook and the Google για τη διευκόλυνση της διάδοσης της “εξτρεμιστικής προπαγάνδας” καθώς όπως ισχυρίζεται τα τρία κοινωνικά δίκτυα επιτρέπουν “εν γνώσει τους” στον ISIS να προσλάβει, να συγκεντρώσει τα χρήματα και να διαδώσει το μηνύματά του σε κάθε μία από τις παραπάνω platforms.
According to court documents:
“For years, [the companies Twitter, Facebook and Google] have known and allowed the terrorist group ISIS to use their social networks as tool for spreading extremist propaganda, raising funds and recruiting new members.
"This support has contributed to the rise of ISIS, which has the potential to carry out many terrorist attacks, including the attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015, in which more than 125 people were killed, including Nohemi Gonzalez."
Gonzalez claims that without Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, the extremists would not have the infrastructure to pass their message to the masses.
Lawsuits such as these are particularly worrying, as each company can get to the ends by policing its members and removing offensive content.
Having a large group of moderators to oversee hundreds of millions publications and generally new content every day is something big companies struggle to do.
The difficulty of course lies in the volume of content, but also in the fact that no company can rely on crisis of each mod as mod does not mean omniscient.
At the moment, companies use random manual control, pointing offensive content to improve the bots algorithm with artificial intelligence. But the scans of bots that often find inappropriate content again require human control.
Of course, as AI technology continues to improve, we will see fewer cases of extremist and other offensive publications.
For the time being, consider it as the entry value on an open Web.
