Self-harm (especially when depicting minors) has special standards. The recent court losses on child safety for Meta and YouTube probably led to this.

- AlienRobot 6mo agoCompletely absurd. If it's not safe for children just slap an age rating on it. I don't like this trend of every technology assuming I'm a child that needs to be protected from the world while simultaneously assuming I'm an adult with infinite disposable income that must be shown ads to all the time. This is insincere. Children need to be "protected" only when it's convenient and allows the platform to exercise unchecked control. Nobody is protecting children from ads because that would be inconvenient.
- j2kun 6mo agoTo be clear, I'm not advocating for the behavior here, just explaining that, for most tech companies, the risk of liability is a huge motivator. Liability for poor use of ad targeting would induce similar behavior (and I think that'd be a win for everyone involved)
- p-t 6mo agoi feel like this is going to be really dangerous tbh, especially if it starts blocking informational content
