We received a strike against one of our Facebook pages over the weekend, courtesy of their AI tool. As with our most previous strike almost twelve months ago, the tool flagged up an historical meme and removed it. This time, the meme was bizarrely flagged for 'sexual activity', despite there being no sexual activity present. The screenshot below shows the removed meme, which was posted to the backup page two years ago.
A brief outline of the Facebook rule on sexual activity was provided, but as any human being would see - there was no sexual activity present. The full small print of the rule additionally refers to 'adult nudity', which amounts to 'photorealistic/digital imagery of adult nudity'. The crude depiction found on the meme can hardly be described as 'photorealistic'.
Facebook strikes generally result in a period of reduced page distribution, which hits us in the pocket. As such, Karl swiftly appealed the decision, in the hope that a human moderator would see sense. However, the AI tool took over again and rejected the appeal almost instantly - within a minute - informing us that it had 'confirmed that the post does not follow our community standards on sexual activity'.
What a joke?
If you thought the meme was funny and would like to share it somewhere, the original can be found below.
