Facebook利用人工智能对恐怖分子删帖

Facebook has developed artificial intelligence technology to help it identify terrorist posts, while increasing its team of counter-terrorism specialists to more than 150, as the social network pushes back against accusations it does not do enough to stop extremist propaganda spreading online.

Facebook研发了人工智能技术来帮助识别恐怖分子发布的帖子，同时把反恐专家队伍的人数扩大至150人以上。该社交网络试图反驳外界的指控，即它未能采取足够行动阻止极端分子宣传在网上传播。

The world’s largest social network has declared it is committed to making the site a “very hostile environment for terrorists”, as politicians in Germany, the UK and France discuss imposing fines on platforms that do not take down their posts.

在德国、英国和法国讨论对不能删除恐怖分子帖子的平台实施罚款之际，世界最大的社交网络宣布，它致力于使自己的网站成为“对恐怖分子来说非常敌对的环境”。

Recent attacks in London and Manchester have increased pressure on tech companies to show they are taking action. The UK prime minister Theresa May, who has accused the platforms of providing “safe spaces” for terrorists online, launched a joint anti-terror campaign targeting social media companies with French President Emmanuel Macron this week.

最近伦敦和曼彻斯特遭遇的恐袭，加大了科技公司受到的压力，要求它们向外界证明它们在采取行动。曾经指责社交平台为恐怖分子提供网络“安全空间”的英国首相特里萨?梅(Theresa May)，本周与法国总统埃马纽埃尔?马克龙(Emmanuel Macron)启动了针对社交媒体公司的联合反恐行动。

Monika Bickert, head of global public policy at Facebook and a former prosecutor, said the company had made “significant improvements” in the past year.

曾经担任检察官的Facebook全球公共政策主管莫妮卡?比克特(Monika Bickert)表示，该公司在过去一年取得了“重大进展”。
