Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri is acunderstandledging recent misconsents in Meta’s moderation processes on Threads and Instagram. For example, Meta unforeseeedly deleted my account this week becaparticipate it thought I was underage, the company locked my colleague’s account becaparticipate she joked about dying in a heatwave, and others have seen their posts fade with no clear reason why. “Threads Moderation Failures” has been trfinishing this week — putting more presbrave on Meta’s moderation processes.
Now Mosseri confesss that Meta is having problems with those processes, and has unveilly posted that acunderstandledgement on Threads. He elucidates there’s a “tool” that broke, which apparently did not show human appraiseers “adequate context” before they made posts and accounts fade. You might leank Meta is using AI to originate decisions on what to delete and who to prohibit, but Mosseri’s proposeing that’s still done by humans, and that the algorithm is fair flagging posts for possible enforcement actions.
Meta is already mending some of the misconsents it create, according to Mosseri, helping appraiseers originate better calls in the future. “We demand to do better,” Mosseri wrote.
Things already seem better for me personassociate: Meta hushedly reinstated my account yesterday. But Meta didn’t answer our asks why participaters’ posts and accounts were being deleted. For me, the whole request process was grueling and menhighy exhausting, as I elucidateed in detail on Wednesday.
