Instagram will now judge messages that can be classified as inappropriate because it adopts the role of nanny

Artificially intelligent algorithms and machine learning are likely to dictate moral principles and perhaps more.

Instagram, owned by Facebook, modifies community guidelines that dictate social media The social network is reworking algorithms to filter out publications that could be labeled as "inappropriate" but may not break the rules or go to contrary to the guidelines of the community.

"We have begun to reduce the distribution of inappropriate publications that do not violate the rules of the Instagram community, limiting this type of recommended publication to our Explore and hashtag pages," says Instagram in an official message. But what kind of messages would they be?

Apparently, Instagram will judge the content of each message and then decide whether it violates community rules or not. If this is not the case, but Instagram still does not like its appearance, the message will be clbadified as "inappropriate" and sent to sit on this naughty step. Instagram gives the example of a badually suggestive publication, which could be targeted in this new regime where artificially intelligent algorithms and machine learning are likely to dictate morality and perhaps more.

Instagram indicates that such a message will always appear on your feed if you follow the account that posted it. However, these publications will be reduced in one way, and might not appear in the Explorer tab, in the hashtag pages, as well as when a user performs a specific search with a hashtag.
Instagram has not given a timetable to suggest when these changes will come into effect, which could indicate that these changes may be active right now. It may be a bit funny that if Instagram does not have a policy or directive violated by some messages, it may refuse to display it in the search results. The method used for this filtration is not very clear, with the exception of that illustrated by the social network. It will be interesting to understand how and why, the reasons why a position has been downgraded and what dictates them. At the present time, this seems to go against content democracy, which means that if a content does not violate the rules of the community (in this case, it is stuck at rightly), he must receive the same preference as any other. piece of content on the platform. In a way, this indicates a larger problem with the wording of the guidelines, but it may be easier to hide the cracks with a strong moral argument.
