Facebook said users were more aggressively posting images of violence in places like war-torn Syria.Facebook took down 3.The report marked Facebook’s first breakdown on how much material it removes for violating its policies. The content screening has nothing to do with privacy protection, though, and is aimed at maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere for users and advertisers."Even if they remove 100 million posts that are offensive, there will be one or two that have some really bad stuff and those will be the ones everyone winds up talking about on the cable-TV news,” said Timothy Carone, who teaches about technology at the University of Notre Dame.

It’s not surprising that Facebook’s automated programs have the greatest difficulty trying to figure out differences between permissible opinions and despicable language that crosses the line, Carone said.Facebook’s self-assessment showed its screening system is far better at scrubbing graphic violence, gratuitous nudity and terrorist propaganda.Getting rid of racist, sexist and other hateful remarks on Facebook is more challenging than weeding out other types of unacceptable posts because computer programs still stumble over the nuances of human language, the company revealed.5 per cent of the violations Facebook identified in those categories.3 billion accounts — and that doesn’t even count all the times the company blocked bogus profiles before they could be set up."It’s like trying to figure out the equivalent between screaming ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theatre when there is none and the equivalent of saying something that is uncomfortable but qualifies as free speech,” he said.

The rest came after Facebook users flagged the offending content for review.Facebook said it removed 2.5 million pieces of content deemed unacceptable hate speech during the first three months of this year, up from 1.6 million during the previous quarter.All told, Facebook took action on nearly 1.6 billion pieces of content during the six months ending in March, a tiny fraction of all the activity on its social network, according to the company. For instance, the company estimated that for every 10,000 times that people looked at content on its social network, 22 to 27 of the views may have included posts that included impermissible graphic violence.Had the company not shut down all those fake accounts, its audience of monthly users would have swelled beyond its current 2.Instead of trying to determine how much offending material it didn’t catch, Facebook provided an estimate on how frequently it believes users saw posts that violated its standards, including content that its screening system didn’t detect. It didn’t disclose how long it takes Facebook to remove material violating its standards. In this case, better detection was only part of the reason. The report also doesn’t cover how much inappropriate content Facebook missed.Fake accounts on Facebook have been drawing more attention because Russian agents used them to buy ads to try to influence the 2016 election in the US.For hate speech, Facebook’s human reviewers and computer algorithms identified just 38 per cent of the violations.Even though it has been focusing on shutting down bogus accounts, Facebook has said that 3 to 4 per cent of its active monthly users are fake.

Automated tools detected 86 per cent to 99.The increased transparency comes as the Menlo Park, California, company tries to make amends for a privacy scandal triggered by loose policies that allowed a data-mining company with ties to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign to harvest personal information on as many as 87 million users. The company credited better detection, even as it said computer programs have trouble understanding context and tone of language.4 million pieces of graphic violence during the first three months of this year, nearly triple the 1.2 billion and probably created more potentially offensive material for Facebook to weed out.The report also doesn’t address how Facebook is tacking another vexing issue — the proliferation of fake news stories planted by Russian agents and other fabricators trying to sway elections and public opinion.Facebook also released statistics that quantified how pervasive fake accounts have become on its influential service, despite a long-standing Jap plugs policy requiring people to set up accounts under their real-life identities.2 million during the previous three months.. That means as many as 88 million fake Facebook accounts were still slipping through the cracks in the company’s policing system through March.From October to December alone, Facebook disabled nearly 1

Ayub Khan in 1958, then Chief of the Pakistani Army, who noted: "I am receiving very depressing reports of economic distress and maladministration through political interference, frustration and complete lack of faith by the people in political leaders.” Whether the "Bajwa Doctrine” is a hardbound set of fleshed-out policies and actions, or is a just a creative interpretation of the Pakistani military’s fidgetiness is still unclear — however, there are lurking signs of "military control” as the largest television channel, Geo TV, gets forced off the cable networks owing to its reportage of the Pakistani military machinations.From a Pervez Musharraf to a Raheel Sharif, it has typically taken just over a year for the incumbent Chief of Army Staff to run into an uncomfortable equation and power tussle with Nawaz Sharif. The sovereign humiliation accompanying the US military aid cuts to Pakistan is essentially getting repackaged and replayed back as a sign of national pride and dignity, as Pakistani military spokesman Maj. Asif Ghafoor insists: "Pakistan never fought for money but for peace. With Pakistan’s general election due to be held in July this year, the emergence of the ghost of the "Bajwa Doctrine” has made the run-up and the possible outcomes more unpredictable. In 1993, his choice of Gen. The third was the "safe” mohajir, Gen. Gen. The buildup to the fractious relationship normally assumes the pattern of the military establishment expressing concerns on matters that are beyond the domain of security — such as the economy, federalism, intra-party feuds, etc. we have reached a stage where our economy has crumbled, our credibility is lost, state institutions lie demolished. Anyone who is indignant with the Supreme Court decisions (should) not be allowed to humiliate the judiciary or raise question marks on the integrity of the honourable judges”.. The contours of UK power cables expression were established by Gen. During his third stint as Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif had punted on Gen. Sensing the direction of the wind, Opposition leader Imran Khan has unabashedly confessed: "I have more praise for Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa assumed office on November 29, 2016, his restiveness with the political establishment and the accompanying portents of the power struggle were overdue as per previous trends and traditions. Qamar Bajwa, who silently allowed Mr Sharif to get disqualified and has more recently upped the ante against Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (N) government. Given that Gen.” In the cloak and dagger style of Pakistan’s intra-institutional intrigues, the Pakistani military has tactically joined hands with the judiciary to retain the pressure on the beleaguered and cornered civilian government by suggesting that "destabilising the judiciary or ridiculing its verdicts could land us in political disarray.. Qamar Bajwa has also not shied away from sharing his opinion on civilian ministerial colleagues by commenting on former finance minister Ishaq Dar: "It is a shame that out of 210 million people, only 1. Waheed Kakar was instrumental in pressuring Mr Sharif to resign as Prime Minister. Qamar Bajwa asserting his institutional presence, defying governmental preferences and openly holding court with his holistic vision for Pakistan that has grandiosely been described as the "Bajwa Doctrine”. Later, Nawaz Sharif, in his third innings as Prime Minister, had to deal with the outgoing dictator Pervez Musharraf’s choice, the highly unpredictable Gen. Pervez Kayani, who unilaterally extended his stay at the Army House.Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has had an ominous relationship with all six Chiefs of Army Staff that he has tenured with, including the four that he "handpicked” by superseding senior officers. The general belief is that none of these men have the honesty of purpose, integrity and patriotism to root out the evils of the country, which will require drastic action.As Gen. Gen. The next chief in Nawaz’s tenure was the choice of the previous government, Gen. As part of its logical extension, it seeks to invest in a new set of replacement allies that host inherently anti-US governments — such as China, Russia, Iran and Turkey. Raheel Sharif”, signalling the importance of the Baloch Regiment officer who is expectedly stepping out of the shadows of the Rawalpindi barracks.”The last six months have seen the relatively reclusive Gen.2 million pay taxes. He (Ishaq Dar) was a total disaster for this country. From stamping his own martial signature with his Operation Radd-ud-Fasaad (his predecessor had undertaken Operation Zarb-e-Azb), to ignoring government orders to disperse protesters and instead undermining the civilian government by mediating with Islamist protesters, to delivering his views on wholly civilian matters like the 18th Amendment of the Pakistan Constitution that devolves powers to the states, to becoming the first high-ranking foreign dignitary to visit the Maldives, has all the makings and optics of the Pakistani Army’s restless institutional overreach and thunderous grand-standing..” Much later, in 1999, Gen.. Qamar Bajwa slowly but surely consolidates his power and legitimises his angst in the popular imagination, he continues paying lip service to the principle of civilian democracy — "salvation lies in protecting and preserving the integrity of all state institutions (Parliament, judiciary and military) as much as in upholding the rule of law on the way to free and fair elections”. Pervez Musharraf, who packed off Nawaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia in a bloodless coup. Raheel Sharif, who ultimately turned out to be his own man and gave Nawaz Sharif sleepless nights with the rumours of a "takeover”, only to pick yet another supposedly "pro-democracy” and low key officer as his successor, Gen. Bajwa than Gen. Jehangir Karamat, who was forced into premature resignation by Mr Sharif. Musharraf echoed the same line with: "There is despondency and hopelessness surrounding us with no light visible anywhere around. Another crucial aspect attributed to the "Bajwa Doctrine” is the blunt counter to US President Donald Trump’s accusation that Pakistan’s track record on terror had, "given the United States noth
