November 29, 2017: Facebook is trying to become less reliant on user reports to detect and tackle terrorist posts<\/span><\/p>\n
Facebook has said that efforts to use artificial intelligence and other automated techniques to delete terrorism-related posts are “bearing fruit” but more work is needed.<\/p>\n
The firm said that 99% of the material it now removes about Al Qaeda and so-called Islamic State is first detected by itself rather than its users.<\/p>\n
But it acknowledged that it had to do more work to identify other groups.<\/p>\n
