Now Instagram put ‘inappropriate’ content in quotation.
Now
Instagram says, “We have begun reducing the spread of posts that are
inappropriate but do not go against Instagram’s Community Guidelines.” Because Instagram
is become a home to plenty of scantily clad models and edgy memes that may
start to get fewer views starting today, That means if a post is sexually
suggestive, but doesn’t depict a sex act or nudity, it could still get demoted.
Similarly, if a meme doesn’t constitute hate speech or harassment, but is
considered in bad taste, lewd, violent or hurtful, it could get fewer views.
Additionally,
Instagram says, “this type of content may not appear for the broader community
in Explore or hashtag pages,” which could severely hurt the ability of creators
to gain new followers. The news came amidst a flood of “Integrity” announce by
Facebook to safeguard its family of apps revealed today at a press event at the
company’s Menlo Park headquarters.
“Instagram
started to use machine learning to determine if the actual media posted is
eligible to be recommended to our community or not,” said by Will Ruben.
Instagram is now training its content moderators to label borderline content
when they’re hunting down policy violations, and Instagram then uses those
labels to train an algorithm to identify.
