Summary | Facebook is hiring thousands of people to check their platform for offensive content. Artificial intelligence and algorhythms have proven to be incapable of dealing with all nuances of human communication. They were not able to reliably identify cyberbullying content and fake news. Facebook is admitting the boundaries of technological possibilities and now hiring humans to do the job.

Summary | With the increasing development of artificial intelligence, we can expect that a lot of jobs will be done by robots in the not-so-distant future. It is possible that human quota will have to be introduced or labels such as "made by humans". It is also unclear who is accountable in the case of an accident involving a robot.

Summary | Social media have a huge problem with trolling, cyberbullying, and sharing of criminal content. It is however extremely difficult for providers to find such content before it is reported or seen by many. Especially in verbal abuse, the line between joking and slander is blurred and human language is too messy to be able to flag down such instances with algorhythms.
