> Facebook locked her account for 24 hours for making a "violent threat".
This is due to years of old media digging through Facebook posts to write stories like "Child kidnapped after threat on Facebook and Facebook DID NOTHING". This led to more and more calls for FB to "do something" to "keep people safe online". So they started to run all posts through the AI prescreener and well, these are the results.
But hey, they get to at least say that they take down X billions of posts before any other human sees it.
