The company says it has removed three million pieces of terrorism-related content from Facebook in the last quarter of 2018 alone. In total, it has stripped away more than 14 million ‘pieces of terrorist content’ from January to September this year. ‘We now use machine learning to assess Facebook posts that may signal support for ISIS or al-Qaeda,’ explained Monika Bickert, Global Head of Policy Management, and Brian Fishman Head of Counterterrorism Policy at the company.
