Craig D'Souza, Facebook's head of global investigations, tried to reassure the moderators that there was 'a good chance' any suspected terrorists wouldn't know who they were.

Language understanding: AI is learning to understand text that might be advocating for terrorism. We're currently experimenting with analyzing text that we've already removed for praising or supporting terrorist organizations such as ISIS and Al Qaeda so we can develop text- based signals that such content may be terrorist propaganda' Facebook says. The machine learning algorithms work on a feedback loop and get better over time.

Removing terrorist clusters: When the system identifies Pages, groups, posts or profiles as supporting terrorism, it also use algorithms to 'fan out' to try to identify related material that may also support terrorism. It uses signals like whether an account is friends with a high number of accounts that have been disabled for terrorism, or whether an account shares the same attributes as a disabled account. Recidivism: 'We've also gotten much faster at detecting new fake accounts created by repeat offenders' Facebook says. Cross- platform collaboration: Facebook is working on systems to enable it to take action against terrorist accounts across all our platforms, including Whats. App and Instagram. But many of the moderators were not happy with the response, and one replied: 'I understand Craig, but this is taking chances.'I'm not waiting for a pipe bomb to be mailed to my address until Facebook does something about it.'Facebook took two weeks to fix the bug, by which point it had been active for a month.
