Flickr is ridiculous
✴Sparkling✴
My whole account was restricted for a couple of months because of this one photo
A girl like you
✴Sparkling✴
pretty sure its a bot yes
Dutchie®
That's a lovely pic
Dutchie®
I'm changing mine back to safe. This is ridiculous\
Dutchie®
It must be an algorithm. I can't imagine them banning bikinis
Freyja
I have been auto-moderated a few times lately as well, bare bottoms that were set to moderate being moved to restricted, etc.
Dutchie®
Did you mail them to protest? What happens when you change them back?
Caitlin Tobias
wow. those pics are even Facebook safe, that says enough!
Dutchie®
I filed a complaint and have changed them back to safe. Let's see what they do
Freyja
I didn't change mine back as of yet, but perhaps I ought to contact them and ask at least. They need to be told, for sure.

That child protection stuff is a joke.
Tillie
Just google and you see so much actual porn and violence ...
Tillie
...and then pretty harmless images get set to restricted.

Flickr Employee: Hey boss, we're getting a lot of complaints about the moderation bot.
Flickr Exec: Right, we need to make the bot even more strict.
Dutchie®
Flickr responded: ​Thank you for contacting us.

The photos you linked to are ones that would be considered "Safe". It looks like our moderation bot flagged this photo by mistake. We are working hard to improve the accuracy of the bot so that we only find and change photos that should be changed and feedback like this is very helpful.
Dutchie®
So let them know if their bot goes prude

You ain't seen nothing yet. Corporations and politicians invoke all sorts of moral panic - from intellectual property infringement to protecting our children from porn and the... satanic music that is rock - to screw us over.

Also, automated content moderation DOESN'T work.
Sean Gorham
Automated content moderation could work. It definitely doesn't work right now. The problem is that it's only as good as the information it's fed. Or as the programmers say, Garbage In, Garbage Out.

ShaggyZed: and the information it's fed (rules, sample pictures to compare with, whatever) is designed to appease the worst conservative lunatics.
Sean Gorham
Of that I have little doubt. I criticize those who implement the tool, not the tool itself. Humans suck. :-(
