The social network is also investing in improving software to quickly identify edited versions of violent video or images to prevent them from be shared or re-posted. The social network is using artificial intelligence tools to identify and remove hate groups in Australia and New Zealand, according to Ms Sandberg. The ban will be enforced starting next week on the leading online social network and its image-centric messaging service Instagram. "It's clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups and have no place on our services," the social network said in a statement. "We are deeply committed to strengthening our policies, improving our technology and working with experts to keep Facebook safe," Ms Sandberg said.
