Respondent not recorded
QuestionCiting the livestreamed Christchurch mosque attack and bad actors' evolving rhetoric to evade detection, Carper asks how Meta's safety features adapt to keep pace.
ResponseMeta describes its Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy (expanded in August 2020 to cover militarized movements and QAnon), cites removal statistics (2.3M pieces of organized-hate content in Q2 2022, 97% pre-reported), 350+ dedicated specialists, $5B in annual safety/security spending, and its co-founding of the cross-industry GIFCT database, framing its Christchurch Call to Action response as ongoing rather than describing specific new detection capabilities for evolving rhetoric.
