They are doing a great job in the war on the nipple, though. And containing viral content with negative publicity against them.

I don't know about AI, but they have an army of moderators with a strict set of rules. Yet, content that many people would consider hate speech, racism, etc. does not get blocked, even after being reported several times. Are the moderators to lax in interpreting the rules? Or are the rules not strict enough.

(To give context: I believe that hate speech is protected by free speech. And should FB block white supremacists it would not be cencorship.)

I'm told, but have not confirmed it myself, that Facebook do a fine job of censoring Nazi hate speech in Germany. But somehow they cannot do it elsewhere or for other sorts of hate speech. Which is 100% nothing to do with maximising advertising revenue by allowing and enabling hate speech elsewhere...
