Have you ever wondered how Meta moderates billions of posts, ads, comments, photos, and videos shared every day? How technology empowers our reviewers so they can remove election misinformation, hate speech, or health hoaxes at scale?
Media Match Service (MMS) is the system at the heart of automatic moderation and our first line of defense. MMS is one of the 32 Meta Shared Systems, with ~70 internal teams using it to automatically handle harmful or illegal content. As a result, MMS accounts for >30% of making Meta products safe and inclusive by finding accurately and quickly all instances and derivatives of a given piece of content (photo, video, audio, text, post, ad) across all Meta apps. See MMS Product Overview and MMS Technical Primer for more details.
MMS is built by the Similarity Detection (SD) org in Integrity (XI) using Hack, C++, and Python. SD is based in London, UK, and spans 3 teams with 29 engineers (E4 to E6) and 9 XFN (PM, TPM, SPM, DS, DE, PD). The SD Match Quality (SDMQ) team consists of 7 MLEs (E4-6) and has partial product and data science support. The team owns the algorithms that power MMS. Specifically, we develop and optimise uni- and multi-modal similarity classifiers, embeddings, and indexing algorithms for performance, scale, and wide applicability (see 3-yr MMS Product Strategy.) In our quest, we collaborate extensively with partner teams of Meta scientists and applied researchers (see Similarity Research Group).

About Meta
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
