What’s real? What’s fake? With more than 1 billion people using Facebook, the company’s artificial intelligence algorithms can’t answer these questions, so it hired outside firms to moderate content. These human “content moderators” decide what’s fake, real, satire, inappropriate and illegal. No surprise: It’s not working.
