Facebook Needs to Weed Out More ‘Harmful’ Content

Jennifer Grygiel, assistant professor of communications in the Newhouse School, was quoted in stories about Facebook controversy in AFP.

Grygiel, a social media expert says, “…despite Facebook’s ramped up efforts, it needs far more people to weed out posts that can be harmful on a platform with some two billion users worldwide.”

“Zuckerberg needs to figure out content moderation and he can’t do it without more people. This has life and death implications,” Grygiel continues. “I don’t think he understands the decisions he makes has real-world implications for democracy.”
