Facebook Is Hiring 3,000 People to Help Prevent Suicide and Murder Videos From Being Shared

After a string of disturbing incidents

Facebook is hiring 3,000 more people for its community operations team, which reviews sensitive material to keep violence, hate speech and child exploitation off the platform. The move brings the division up to 7,500 employees.
