Facebook Begins Testing Advanced Crowd-Sourced Content Moderation
In an effort to better remove inappropriate content, Facebook is testing out what it calls Facebook Community Council, according to new Council member and Boing Boing guest poster Andrea James. Like the name suggests, this app gives users the ability to evaluate content for various types of offensiveness, or as James quote the group’s motto: “To harness the power and intelligence of Facebook users to support us in keeping Facebook a trusted and vibrant community.”
We asked Facebook for more details — the company isn’t providing screenshots but a Facebook representative basically describes a crowd-sourced version of admin tools for moderating flagged content report by users.
The Facebook Community Council is a way for users to tell us whether reported content violates our policies.
