Facebook said Tuesday that the coronavirus affected how many people could review posts on the social network for violations of rules against content promoting suicide or self-injury. The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted how many workers could monitor Facebook-owned Instagram for child nudity and sexual exploitation.
