Misleading facebook feeds it into computer models and run on the content being uploaded and flags what is nefarious, bad or fake or whatever. at some point you have human reviewers that use a lot of the software to review it. facebook is good at building software that lets human scale up and police an internet scale content problem. they could do this. the problem isnt really technical. its more psychological. they view themselves as a technology platform, not as a media publisher and thats real...
