Facebook Is Promoting ISIS Propaganda, Whistleblower Says

Chris White on May 9, 2019

  • ISIS terrorists are likely using Facebook’s auto-generated video features to spread propaganda, a new complaint alleges.
  • Facebook’s AI tools failed to ding a large amount of easily identifiable ISIS-related content, a new complaint to the Securities and Exchange Commission notes. The complaint comes as the company focuses on eliminating white nationalist material.
  • Researchers complain after a new study alleges that Facebook’s AI failed to ding a trove of ISIS-related material.

Facebook is promoting Islamic State propaganda, a whistleblower alleges in a complaint Thursday to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The social media company is likely violating securities laws prohibiting companies from misleading shareholders and the public, according to a petition filed by the National Whistleblower Center (NWC).

The complaint includes a study that shows Facebook used its auto-generating feature to produce videos that inadvertently help detail ISIS’s exploits throughout the year.

One video begins the black flags of jihad and then cycles highlights of social media posts from a user calling himself “Abdel-Rahim Moussa, the Caliphate.” It then contains plaques of anti-Semitic verses, and a picture of men carrying more jihadi flags while they burn the American flag.

One profile of an al-Qaeda affiliated group listed the users’ employer as Facebook. The video concludes with the salutation. “Thanks for being here, from Facebook,” the video concludes before flashing the company’s “thumbs up” image.

Researchers monitored the Facebook pages of users in 2018 who affiliated themselves with groups the U.S. has designated as terrorist groups. Nearly 38 percent of the posts with symbols of extremist groups were removed, their research showed. Much of the banned content cited in the study, including an execution video and images of severed heads, remained on the platform as of May, media reports show.

The complaint comes as Zuckerberg claims his company has made a big dent in ISIS material. “In areas like terrorism, for al-Qaida and ISIS-related content, now 99 percent of the content that we take down in the category our systems flag proactively before anyone sees it,” he said during an earnings call in April. Zuckerberg added: “That’s what really good looks like.”

The researchers involved in the project argue that there is likely a lot of profiles dotting the platform. “I mean, that’s just stretching the imagination to beyond incredulity,” Amr Al Azm, one researcher, told an AP reporter. “If a small group of researchers can find hundreds of pages of content by simple searches, why can’t a giant company with all its resources do it?”

Facebook said it’s working on the problem. “After making heavy investments, we are detecting and removing terrorism content at a far higher success rate than even two years ago,” a company representative said in a statement. “We don’t claim to find everything and we remain vigilant in our efforts against terrorist groups around the world.”

Al Azm’s researchers in Syria looked at 63 profile accounts that liked the auto-generated page for Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, an al-Qaida group affiliated with al-Nusra Front. Researchers confirmed that 31 of the profiles matched real people in Syria. Experts believe Facebook’s algorithmic tools are not up to the task of effectively moderating the company’s massive platform that lists more than 2 billion monthly users.

Facebook’s artificial intelligence system is failing, according to Hany Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, who advises the Counter-Extremism Project.

“The whole infrastructure is fundamentally flawed,” he told the AP. “And there’s very little appetite to fix it because what Facebook and the other social media companies know is that once they start being responsible for material on their platforms it opens up a whole can of worms.” He’s not the only one warning people about ineffective AI systems.

Emily Williams, a data scientist and founder of Whole Systems Enterprises, for one, argues that Facebook’s lack of transparency about the frailties of its AI-deep learning instruments makes it difficult for conservatives to understand why and how their content is being throttled.

Conservatives meanwhile argue that Facebook is targeting them because of their politics. President Donald Trump’s social media director Dan Scavino Jr., for instance, was temporarily blocked in March from making public Facebook comments. The president then later told his Twitter followers that he is looking into complaints that big tech companies are targeting conservatives.

Williams believes that Facebook’s algorithm likely has a 70 percent success rate, which means roughly 30 percent of the time the company’s moderators are nixing conservatives who are sharing provocative content but not that what might be prohibited by the Silicon Valley company.

All just fake excuses and lies, the left and the Democrats control content on FB and they are helping ISIS, while taking down content of the conservatives. Behind the scenes this is normal operating procedure for many years now.

New nationalist anti-Islam party seen entering Danish Parliament in election polls

Zeal evident, from Left-Facebook employees, against villainous “White Nationalists” — American Patriots? — crusader vigilant. With them, heavy-handed human touch (or fist?). Yet, apparently lax, or suspiciously indifferent, when it comes to hate-spewing Radical Islam, and Hydra-headed manifestations.

Propose name-change, Two-Facebook: One face grimaces against conservatives, under phony mask of “unbiased” moderation; while other transparent face, Benignly smiles (sort of nervous, guilt-ridden, half smile seen on Mr. Zuckerberg ‘s face, under Committee lights — as if caught with hand in your security safe) over insidious domains of Radical Liberalism. And, evidently, not so vigilant policed fiefdoms of Militant Islam!

Call went forth from pages of NYT’s (bird-cage paper, occasionally good article), through Facebook co-founder:

BREAK-UP (Left subseviant, Sharia-complaint?) Shame-Faced-book: Competitors impossible, as long as LEFT-biased, long-shadowed monolith, aggressively stands arrogantly dominant.

The pretty Libra loves a business minded Capricorn,
but he is politically burned, not just through Tarrant’s
donation, but after it came out that as a teenager he
left swastikas on a synagog, in a desperate search
for attention. A pattern of behaviour that he still dis
plays today, but not in order not to turn it into a busi-
ness model, cause regular work, as he says in one
of his vids, is nothing worth striving for guys like him.

Martin could send his sperm donation to his pretty playmate, and conjure
up a child in her belly via remote conrol, so to speak. Because even the
stork doesn’t believe that these two conservatives didn’t have sex before
their official marriage anyway. Then the child would automatically possess
an American passport and Martin’s chances to enter the most free country
in the word as producer of a “real patriot designer baby” would rise rapidly

Tell that to the legions barbarically slain, under its Dark Age TERROR reign. ~ Say thus to the many weeping orphans, Muslim, Christian, Kurd, Yazidi, etc. Convince the widows, and those wasting away in refugee camps, from villages depopulated, families shattered, lives broken, from aftermath rise of proto-state ISLAMIC Caliphate. ~ “[M]orally upstanding”, while its unholy “lions” ravished helpless-enslaved women and children? Defilers of other men’s mothers and sisters, wives and daughters. Vile criminals who cruelly raised “cubs” for suicidal actions and homicidal slaughter. ~ Declare to distant fallen of Bataclan and Nice — and many other places around the world: persuade them of your point-of-view, consigned to early graves and tombs. And while your at it, explain to the traumatically scarred and horribly maimed, survivors of that “morally upstanding country”, nature of its foreign policy — terror! Present your rational for vicious torture and gleeful sadism. Give reasons for their suffering (at concert or on holiday ~ in peaceful worship service or morning hotel breakfast); where souls not dismembered, as by mad wild-beasts, lives forever changed. ….

Are those guys you’re “innocent” Muslims? Perhaps if you stop fighting against other Muslims in your countries and stop attacking us in our countries…maybe we wouldn’t have to waste our money on drones.

I can only break this down to a systematic hatred to eliminate Christianity entirely. It’s not that they love Mouslems.

It’s just that they HATE your Christianity more and thus are SATANICALLY driven. But God is not mocked. After the Christians are gone the Mouslems will turn on them and have free reign and there won’t be a white man or a Christian to save him.

Correct…”the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” The Leftist-Islamic axis of evil has the same goal…destruction of Judeo-Christian Western Civilization and elimination of Christianity. But when the Muslims get control, and they will, they won’t need their useful idiot infidels anymore. Muslims have been using infidels to gain a foothold in infidel territories for 1400 years. Muslims are the experts of imperialistic conquests by any means necessary.

“Morally upstanding— Islamic State????” that is pretty far fetched even for a run-of-the-mill non-fundamentalist Muslim.
It says a lot about the abomination that is Islam when that moral “cesspit” in the US that you are referring to is coming from the atheistic, degenerate Leftists and the moral depravity of the cesspit among the Hollywood Leftist idiots who LOVE having your human rights abusing fascistic Islam invade and destroy our Christian-based country. Your immoral Islam and your immoral Leftists Commie allies are totally simpatico when it comes to destroying Judeo-Christian Western Civilization, but then you’ll destroy your useful infidel idiot allies in the end too when they no longer serve a useful purpose for your invasion.
Islam is pure evil. Wherever Muslims migrate en masse, Hell follows. I can deal w/ immorality within our society as long as I have the freedom to choose what my moral code is per my Christian upbringing…. but I can’t deal with the foreign alien invasion of Supremacist Theocratic IslamoNazis who force their sick version of their depraved “moral” code on people against their free will…which includes murder of those who won’t comply. Please stay in your cesspool of your Islamic country and don’t come to the US.
If God forbid you should be living here in my amazing country…..GET OUT!

If true in non-Muslim countries, maybe because naive and ignorant people who know nothing about Islam except for the white-washed taqiyya garbage. In Muslim countries they have no choice but be born into it and they can’t leave Islam or else they will be killed. We just have to keep satanic Islam from destroying freedom in the West.
