The tech was used to identify posts, videos and live streams that could be indicative of suicidal thoughts. The algorithm also prioritises the order in which the Facebook team reviews these posts. According to Facebook, these accelerated reports get reported to local authorities twice as fast as unaccelerated ones – which could save many lives.
