Their statement: http://image-net.org/update-sep-17-2019 http://image-net.org/update-sep-17-2019 > Each synset is classified as either “unsafe” (offensive regardless of context), “sensitive” (offensive depending on context), or “safe”. “Unsafe” synsets are inherently offensive, such as those with profanity, those that correspond to racial or gender slurs, or those that correspond to negative characterizations of people (for example, racist). “Sensitive” synsets are not inherently offensive, but they may cause offense when applied inappropriately, such as the classification of people based on sexual orientation and religion. > So far out of 2,832 synsets within the person subtree we’ve identified 438 “unsafe” synsets and 1,155 “sensitive” synsets. The remaining 1,239 synsets are temporarily deemed “safe.” They've also completely disabled Imagenet downloads while they remedy this.
