In the same report, the company founded by Mark Zuckerberg reveals that it estimates that 5% of monthly active accounts are false. This means the existence of about 119 million fake accounts currently in the largest social network in the world.
Removing $ 2.19 billion of fake accounts can be scary, but Alex Schultz wants the focus to be on the number of untrustworthy accounts that remain active. So the vice president of Facebook is clearly shifting the focus of our attention to the monthly 5% active.
He points out that there are two main objectives of the company in this fight: to prevent the abuse of this type of accounts and to give more power to the authentic accounts for the information sharing.
There are three methods of fighting Facebook to this phenomenon
Facebook also reveals in this report what its main methods are in fighting fake accounts. Firstly, the social network wants to block the creation of such accounts. Second, you want to remove these accounts when they connect to your network. Lastly, remove the fake accounts that are already online .
It is not easy to fight this scourge, but Zuckerberg's company is confident in the success of this task. For this, it has an Artificial Intelligence which, according to its data, has already detected 95% of potentially harmful information for its users. In this spectrum we can include spam, fake accounts, and even terrorist propaganda.
Zuckerberg admits there is still a long way to go
The founder of Facebook recognizes that there is still much work to be done. Although your company is improving in this chapter, your CEO admits the need to do even better.
According to him, your company has the responsibility to protect the freedom of expression of users, while fighting this type of information. This is a meticulous work, to distinguish what is true and what is nothing but demagogy.
For the future, Mark Zuckerberg informs that this type of report will be revealed on a quarterly basis. It also leaves information that the next will have information regarding Instagram.
