Some of these moderation algorithms are pretty stupid/over zealous.
I was watching a follow-up on the YouTube elsagate crisis that happened some years back, and apparently one of their late solutions to the problems ended up deleting anything with tags or titles that could be remotely connected to children's animation, resulting in a ton of being videos being struck down.
Also, when the "fact checking" was released on FB and Instagram, obvious memes and obvious bait (literally explicitly stating it was bait) were being "fact checked".
- jaclaz 4y agoYes, what I don't understand is the possible (even if wrong) connection that the algorithms may have established between the specific meme and suicide. Is the "change my mind" or the "Sopranos" that may trigger the algorithm? Or are all memes associated to self-harm/suicide?
