"We've always used a mix of human reviewers and technology to address violative content on our platform, and in 2017 we started applying more advanced machine learning technology to flag content for review by our teams," the company said. "This combination of smart detection technology and highly-trained human reviewers has enabled us to consistently enforce our policies with increasing speed."
