Unfounded Censorship on Instagram

13/04/2024

Australian gay men's magazine DNA reports that Liverpool couple Sam and David have had a sweet photo of themselves embracing their newborn baby censored by Instagram.  The photo was used to promote the forthcoming conference by the group Men Having Babies, which supports gay men on their journey through parenthood, and will be taking place in Berlin at the end of April.  DNA's Joshuan Donovan writes "Concerns about content and its widespread accessibility online have long plagued social media platforms. Instagram’s latest tool in shutting down problematic posts is to use an algorithm to help detect content which violates their guidelines.  The issue with this is a reliance on AI and algorithmic detection software takes away the element of human judgement and many creators are finding themselves on the pointy end of heavily enforced restrictions without merit".
