"what they were meant to be." is probably not a correct characterization, it's likely that the algorithms are intended to prevent "bad" content at all costs, a high false positive rate is likely, if not intended, an accepted consequence.
- gregoriol 6y agoIt's likely better to remove a chess master's video than to let an offensive one stay online
- dcow 6y agoLikely how?

- gregoriol 6y agoObviously then there should be an appeal process possible, but I'd rather have my content removed than some really bad stuff hanging around.
- Ekaros 6y agoI suppose your comment should also be removed algorithmically. It contains a word deemed offensive in modern vernacular... Maybe we need less automatic moderation and more humans in the loop. Or just accept that sometimes content is just visible.
