15 years of memories - thanks to AI, gone in an instant.

Posted a screenshot to my Instagram story of an absolutely ridiculous tweet by the politician Jerry Nadler last night. I can’t describe it because it seems to flag posts on here, but it’s easy enough to find as people are talking about it. I posted it with a harmless caption saying how silly it was.

It was a tweet basically claiming that negative discussion of the thing commonly done to baby boys, against their will - is, let’s just say, antiseptic.

Within 30 mins - account banned due to CSA guidelines, Facebook also banned, device and IP blacklisted so can't make any new accounts ever again.

It seems many, many people are in the same boat. Every post Instagram makes on twitter is flooded by people saying the same, it seems they recently switched to Al patrolling the platform and flagging people for nonsense.

I'm not somebody who worships social media, but my god it's shameful to do this to people. It's my own fault for not downloading some of them, but I've lost videos, photos and voice notes from loved ones who have died.

I'm getting sick of Al and the robotification of everything, and it's only going to get worse.

This tale by u/noctenaut is unfortunate. Another page I manage has all kinds of flags recently because of different companies utilizing AI models to scan for content, then flagging it. They make money unlesss you dispute it - even when you have license. In this case, it’s a content flag and without human oversight, these people’s accounts can get banned. I don’t agree with only relying on AI right now. Especially such an intense outcome of just banning the IP.

What’s your take?
