Facebook is fighting back against violent video CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook would be hiring 3,000 additional staff members to help review reports of potentially violent or objectionable video last month the social media site accidentally allowed a video of a man killing his daughter and himself to remain live for almost the day and there's been an increase in shocking videos since Facebook rolled out its live streaming service the company has been pushing live broadcasts hard in users news feeds but it hasn't exactly been consistent when it comes to graphic content so these additional 3,000 employees should hopefully make a difference when it comes to spotting that content flagging it getting it reviewed and pulling it down if it is in fact graphic they'll also be keeping an eye out for other objectionable material Zuckerberg said in a post to his Facebook page quote these reviewers will also help us get better at removing things we don't allow on Facebook like hate speech and child exploitation and we'll keep working with local community groups and law enforcement who are in the best position to help someone if they need it either because they're about to harm themselves or because they're in danger from someone else unquote it remains to be seen whether or not Facebook can get a handle on the influx of graphic content as its video service grows but we hope these additional hires make a difference Zuckerberg also said quote no one should be in this situation in the first place but if they are then we should build a safe community that gets them to help they need and to that we agree for more check out cnet.com I'm Ashley asked ever be good humans
