The storm of “flying color” sweeps through the Vietnamese Facebook community
Enter June 24 Fate, many administrators (admin) shocked when discovering his “brainchild” suddenly unable to access. Some groups were completely locked, others were renamed into a meaningless line.Group Title Pending”(Approving the group name)
The incident happened so fast and unexpectedly, making many people believe that this was a “purge” intentionally from competitors. This fear is even more grounded when shortly, the shady services began to bloom, publicly claiming to wipe out any group of groups in the blink of an eye.
Cheap “Report” service exploded only 35,000 VND
In closed groups specializing in social networking services, public selling offers appear with dense frequency. “Only VND 99,000 to color a group from 500,000 – 1 million members,” an advertising account, accompanied by a series of evidence of the newly locked large groups.
The price is more shocking when some parties receive “large quantities” at the cost only 35,000 VND For each group. They pledged the victim to “fly” after 10 to 30 seconds Since receiving the application. The action of these services has sparked a hypothesis: Is it affordable Facebook There is a deadly hole, and bad guys are taking advantage of it to profit and eliminate the opponent?
Facing this situation, many experienced admin had to actively choose a temporary solution to freeze the operation of the group, holding their breath waiting for the new move.
The truth is behind the reason that the Facebook groups fly color
Facing the pressure from the community and the media, Meta has officially spoken. Their answer has partly clarified the panoramic picture of the incident.
Technical error on a large scale, not only in Vietnam
Meta representative, including the Andy Stone spokesperson, admitted: “We recognize a technical problem affecting some of the above groups. Facebook. We are trying to fix this error. ”
It is worth noting that this incident is not limited to Vietnam. The platform specializes in recognizing Internet Downdetector incidents also recorded a series of similar reports from users around the world. This asserts that the root of the problem comes from a Facebook system error, creating a “back door” for those who have bad intentions to exploit.
Election hole and whose role in censorship
According to technology experts, Meta’s technical incidents are most likely related to the content censorship system by artificial intelligence (AI). In the effort to automate the detection and handling of violations, large platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr are increasingly depending on who. However, the process of deploying and operating these algorithms is not always perfect.
A hole in the algorithm can cause the wrong explanation system to report violations. Instead of carefully reviewing, who can automatically handle reports mechanically, leading to the wrong lock of a series of innocent groups. The cheap “report” services simply discovered this hole and took advantage of it by sending it A series of automatic reports To activate whose mistakes.
What do admin do when the group has a problem?
Although Meta quickly patched and most groups have returned to the morning of June 25, the consequences were not small. Many groups are still stuck with the name “Group Title Pending” and as prescribed, must wait 28 days New to the old name. This interruption has a great influence on business activities, community construction and reputation of the admin.
This incident is an expensive wake -up scene. It shows the fragility of the almost absolute digital communities and power of the platforms. Every second, a large group of groups can be converted in money and the decline in interaction.
Lesson learned for administrators:
- When there is an abnormal problem on a large scale, follow the official notification from Meta instead of panic.
- In case of suspicion that there are gaps being exploited, temporarily closing the group to wait is a wise decision.
- There is always a plan to back up important data and build backup channels with members (such as ZaloTelegram).
Conclusion
In short, The reason Facebook groups “fly” is a combination of a serious technical error from Meta and the agility of those who specialize in exploiting holes to profit. This incident once again emphasizes our dependence on algorithms and the need for transparent and effective appeal mechanisms from technology giants.
