Governments call us for help all the time: Facebook’s Richard Allan

Richard Allen, the Vice President of Policy Solutions at Facebook sat down for an interview on the second at Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2018. Allen said that governments all around the world call him when they have problems on Facebook. He said that anything from helping find a missing child to how a poltician's profile appears on the social networking platform falls under the ambit of his job. He said that issues like child abuse are where technology companies like Facebook can employ tools to remove objectionable material before it is even seen by anyone.
