Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, CEO, Mark
Zuckerberg has announced the company’s plan to increase its workforce globally
by 3000.
Zuckerberg made the announcement via his official Facebook
account.
He also emphasized the need to make the Facebook community a
safer haven for everyone.
He wrote, “Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen people
hurting themselves and others on Facebook — either live or in video posted
later. It’s heartbreaking, and I’ve been reflecting on how we can do better for
our community.
“If we’re going to build a safe community, we need to
respond quickly. We’re working to make these videos easier to report so we can
take the right action sooner — whether that’s responding quickly when someone
needs help or taking a post down.
“Over the next year, we’ll be adding 3,000 people to our
community operations team around the world — on top of the 4,500 we have today
— to review the millions of reports we get every week, and improve the process
for doing it quickly.
“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.
“In addition to investing in more people, we’re also
building better tools to keep our community safe.
“We’re going to make it simpler to report problems to us,
faster for our reviewers to determine which posts violate our standards and
easier for them to contact law enforcement if someone needs help. As these
become available they should help make our community safer.
“This is important. Just last week, we got a report that
someone on Live was considering suicide. We immediately reached out to law
enforcement, and they were able to prevent him from hurting himself. In other
cases, we weren’t so fortunate.
“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 the help they
need.”
