Facebook To Employ 3000 - Mark Zuckerberg

Billionaire Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg has taken to his official Facebookaccount to announce the company's plan of increasing his workforce globally by 3000.This news is coming of the heels of frequent abuse of the social media platform. He also emphasized on the need to make our communities a safer haven for everyone.See the post below.
Over the last few weeks, we've seen peoplehurting themselves and others on Facebook -- either live or in video posted later. It's heartbreaking, and I've been reflecting on how we can do better for our community.If we're going to build a safe community, weneed to respond quickly. We're working to make these videos easier to report so we can take the right action sooner -- whether that's responding quickly when someone needs help or taking a post down.Over the next year, we'll be adding 3,000 people to our community operations team around the world -- on top of the 4,500 we have today -- to review the millions of reports we get every week, and improve theprocess for doing it quickly.These reviewers will also help us get better at removing things we don't allow on Facebook like hate speech and child exploitation. And we'll keep working with local community groups and law enforcement who are in the best position tohelp someone if they need it -- either because they're about to harm themselves, or because they're in danger from someoneelse.In addition to investing in more people, we're also building better tools to keep our community safe. We’re going to make it simpler to report problems to us, faster for our reviewers to determine which posts violate our standards and easier for them tocontact law enforcement if someone needshelp. As these become available they should help make our community safer.This is important. Just last week, we got a report that someone on Live was considering suicide. We immediately reached out to law enforcement, and they were able to prevent him from hurting himself. In other cases, we weren't so fortunate.No one should be in this situation in the firstplace, but if they are, then we should build asafe community that gets them the help they need.
