Facebook will be hiring 3,000 new employees to protect users from unsafe, unwanted content. “If we’re going to build a safe community,” Zuckerberg announced in a post, “we need to respond quickly.” Facebook has received a lot of flak for delays in taking down violent, unsafe, and hateful content—livestreamed assaults and suicide attempts among the most egregious examples. New hires, improved processes, and easier methods for user reporting are some of the solutions they hope will make the platform a safer space. (NPR)
