Facebook is planning to hire thousands of people to help review user content following multiple high-profile incidents of people sharing videos of suicide and murder. "Over the last few weeks, we've seen people hurting themselves and others on Facebook -- either live or in video posted later," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook (FB, Tech30)post. "If we're going to build a safe community, we need to respond quickly," Zuckerberg wrote on Wednesday. Zuckerberg noted Facebook recently helped stop one Facebook Live user from committing suicide by acting quickly. Facebook, like some of its peers, has touted the potential for artificial intelligence to help flag and combat offensive content.
