Google, Facebook, and Twitter Sell Hate Speech Targeted Ads

Are Google and Facebook lazy? Maybe. It certainly seems unlikely that the problem is incompetence — that the companies are incapable of building their systems to reflect moral values. Facebook has previously said that its algorithms are capable of identifying hate speech; Google has similarly emphasized AI, over humans, as the solution to hate speech on YouTube. These platforms talk constantly about AI and machine learning and neural networks as their future. If they can’t stop hate speech on the profit-generating portion of their systems, why do we trust that they’ll be able to do it elsewhere?
