Meta would let accounts reported for human trafficking purposefully remain active for 17 days or more if it helped with engagement.
So accounts where someone was potentially being trafficked and forced to prostitution where encouraged by meta to remain up for as long as possible.
Meta also is losing a lawsuit for being dangerous to teens. Yet every advertisement I get for them on YouTube, reddit etc claim they have saftey features for teens. Everything they say is the opposite.
I was with you until the last line. This has nothing to do with A.I. Facebook has been doing this kind of stuff long before A.I. was a thing.
You can be anti-A.I. that’s fine, but don’t conflate the two when one proceeds the other. You’re just hurting your own argument when you throw in things like that.
Facebook is in a constant loop of firing employees and using the existing ones to train ai. Much of metas whole brand is algorithms (ai) and consuming your data while doing nothing about real systemic issues because they need your data to feed their ai and make ad revenu. I think its fair to say most of Facebook is just ai. They have LLMS, social manipulating algorithms for advertisers to exploit, facial detection, etc etc.
At the core its Ai just becoming a paper clip maximizer while willfully ignoring the obvious flaws, and instead choosing to double down. Now we have ai moderation in Facebook, and instead of banning porn ads, or direct scams they ban people for political speech with ai using basic keywords and image scanning tools which are wrong majority of the time. Thats another lawsuit Facebook is facing right now.
To me I don’t see how you can’t say ai is not a major contributor to this problem. Sure maybe if we hired back all the human employees nothing would change, but I don’t think expanding the systematic tools that are used to abuse you while continually ignoring the glaring issues like sex trafficking, csam, scams, drugs etc is a good look. You can’t tell me they have the ai tools now to ban tens to hundreds of thousands of people for a single word in a comment 5 years ago, but they can’t stop when their advertisers post csam? They know what they are doing and they are using algorithms to boost their ad revenue. This company has been found guilty in court for essentially rigging the election. They have bragged about manipulating peoples feeds to force their emotions to change to see of they make more profits. I don’t understand how you can’t see the facts I posted and not see how Ai is exaggerating these problems to the point of it being criminal.
If you are trying to make some kind of distinction between LLMs that chatgpt use, and the different between algorithms on a Facebook feed, I am happy to make the distinction. But in general artificial intelligence is a broad term, and covers all those. To pre-argue the next point Facebook does have LLMS that do the average chat bot stuff too, and yes Facebook has gotten in trouble for having them sext teens.
They were super bad (like, global leaders in innovating new levels of bad) before LLMs took off, not that controversial or difficult of a distinction.
Completely agree with the commenter who replied to you, and suddenly saying “it’s mostly AI” at the end frankly just lets them off the hook. Cuz they were doing this the old fashioned human way for a long time, and it bears remembering. Paying workers in other countries to traumatize themselves horrifically in order to classify and censor the worst of the worst.

Also this problem is mostly Ais fault.

Facebook and Instagram was allowing ads for cocaine to be shipped through the mail in Canada… probably still are https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H1aaiTgBE9Q&ra=m
