Facebook has announced a slew of comment moderation tools and controls to help creators manage conversations on the social network site.
According to Tech Crunch, creators will be able to search comments on their posts by keywords, including emojis, commenter names, and dates, and perform bulk actions such as liking or hiding.
These tools will be accessible via Facebook's Professional Dashboard's comments manager section.
According to the Meta-owned company, this is part of their celebration of Safer Internet Day.
Every year on February 7, Safer Internet Day is observed to raise awareness of cyberbullying, social networking, digital identity, and other emerging online issues and concerns.
"Building tools that help keep creators and their communities safe is foundational to Facebook's creator efforts, and we've continued to invest here," said Bobby Marshall, the leader of Facebook's creator safety programs.
"Last year, we expanded Moderation Assist and launched a Creator Support Hub. Today's updates make it much easier for creators to search comments - by keyword, date, emoji, and more - and take bulk actions on them, such as liking or hiding them. With these tools, we hope to give creators more time to do what they do best: create content and build communities."
The social media giant also said it was introducing moderation statistics in their Moderation Assist’s Activity Log. This tool will proactively moderate new comments on creators’ posts using criteria they set in advance.
With this new addition, creators will be able to see statistics about certain things, such as the number of comments that were hidden in the past 30 days.
Also, creators can now view what criteria are met for hiding comments with the inline comment preview and criteria tag in the activity log of Moderation Assist.
