Extreme content While the AI
detects and flags obvious violations, human moderators
play a crucial role in adjusting filters, reviewing edge
cases, and ensuring harmful content is swiftly removed
However, late Monday, a significant portion of this
moderation team walked off the job in protest of
recent policy changes and working conditions
Without human oversight, the algorithm is functioning
without the necessary real-time adjustments, causing a
massive spike in explicit and violent content slipping
through the cracks. Users have reported seeing
uncensored accident footage, violent altercations, and
other graphic material that would normally be flagged
or removed almost instantly.
As of now, Meta has not addressed the issue publicly,
and it's unclear how long this situation will last. If the
strike continues, Instagram could face serious
regulatory scrutiny for failing to maintain its content
moderation standards. Until then, users should be aware
that sensitive content is far more likely to appear in
their feeds.
