• A Facebook executive testified at the late-September Senate hearing that the company is using AI to keep kids under 13 off Instagram.
• The performance of Facebook’s automated systems illustrates how difficult it is for Facebook and other tech companies to build systems that reliably and comprehensively detect content that breaks their rules.
• Facebook users were finding in their feeds videos of crashing cars and fighting roosters, which would normally violate Facebook’s rules.
