Facebook has started deploying its artificial intelligence capabilities to help combat terrorists’ use of its service.
Company officials said in a blog post last week that Facebook will use AI in conjunction with human reviewers to find and remove “terrorist content” immediately, before other users see it.

In most cases, Facebook only removes objectionable material if users first report it.
Facebook and other internet companies face growing government pressure to identify and prevent the spread of terrorist propaganda and recruiting messages on their services. Earlier this month, British Prime Minister Theresa May called ongovernments to form international agreements to prevent the spread of extremism online. Some proposed measures would hold companies legally accountable for the material posted on their sites.
