In its Sept. 17 announcement, Facebook said it had widely deployed a “proactive detection tool” to find content that violates policy in both public and private groups. This social network also mobilized 15,000 people, combined with tools that use artificial intelligence to “clean” bad content from groups.

Before that, some groups have been moved from public to private, renamed … but still removed by Facebook. “Some groups have been removed for posting sensitive images. Others may include hostile political content or republish content that is not produced by themselves. Facebook’s new tool with AI support even scans words that are not in line with good manners, “said Thai Anh.

Not just in Vietnam, for about a month, Facebook users around the world were also shocked because many secret groups were removed for unknown reasons. In its ad, Facebook admitted that its toolkit sometimes mistakenly removed certain groups with healthy content. The group management can appeal, review and respond. However, according to the experience of professional activists on social media, the probability of recovering the group is very low as Facebook rarely reverses decisions.

Thuy Dung, administrator of a translation group, said: “Facebook is increasingly tightening the rules on content. The pressure on the admin team is also great. Some words may be normal in the group association. But in the list of banned by Facebook “.

Previously, Facebook would notify administrators if it discovered that someone posted content that violated the policy. However, after this social network changed its algorithm, whenever bad content appeared in the group, they would remove that group. This causes group administrators to moderate the content more carefully before publishing it.

Besides the regrets, many users support Facebook’s strong policy. “I think there is nothing unfair, the groups that disappeared this morning did not post offensive photos, they also posted a lot of controversial content or gave unproven information, causing public confusion,” Xuan Minh’s account said. to know.

Immediately after the large groups were eliminated, many fake groups were formed and enlisted.

According to professionals in the Facebook service, the removal of groups that violate the policies is welcome; However, Facebook does not provide a detailed guide that leaves many people who manage groups with healthy content. confusion.

This is not the first time that large associations and groups in Vietnam have been removed from Facebook. In mid-2019, the “storm report” “removed” a number of closed groups and community pages due to a violation of Facebook policies. Some groups regained their active rights after suing, others were permanently removed.
