Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This Will Fix Everything 😊”.
Uh Instagram is going to be adding a new filtering feature which detects and blurs images that are likely to contain nudity. This filtering will reportedly use on device analysis, so that’s good, meaning that it also works with endtoend encryption. The feature will also prompt users who appear to be attempting to send a nude photo to think twice before sending nude images. Nudity filtering will be turned on by default for all users under 18, meaning Instagram is dead, no they’ll just live at what age they are. I don’t know I don’t know if they, if they’re doing this, presumably they have some kind of intent to enforce this.
I don’t think it’s going to be that hard for them to figure out if users under the legal age are sending nudity of themselves like come on. Oh, I see um and uh yeah. I I thought of this as uh wait hold on yeah. I think the filter is for receivers of the images. Yes yeah, it’s not senders. I think the warning is just for senders yeah. The warning is for senders, so it just seems like they’re, headed in a direction. Now that they’ve acknowledged the problem yeah they kind of have to do something yeah and if they do something they’re done, I wonder how much of like, if I wonder how hard it would be to deal with the processing of this for Twitter, oh man, I don’t Read through public threads anymore, you can’t yeah. If, if it’s a thread of like someone, I know I might click on it. If it’s not, I just don’t. If it’s, if it’s very trending, I just don’t click on it.
It’S just full of bums. Yeah click. On my whatever yeah top, whatever percent yep yep and the text will have absolutely nothing to do with the imagery nope uh according to meta. This is not only to protect people from seeing unwanted nudity, but also to protect them from scammers who use nude images to catchfish user catfish users into sending them extortion, material, yes, uh. That is very important and honestly, I agree how’s it going to do that.
This seems the intent seems great how’s it going to do that with warnings. So it warns the sender yeah. It warns the sender and it blurs the blurs the imagery um, basically they’re, putting barriers in place for sexting. I don’t think it’s going to do the the also protect them from scammers who use nude images to catfish users. It’S not going to do that at all.
If people wanted to see that image they’re just going to turn the filter off sure that’s fair enough, but not I’m not saying the goal is like bad or anything. I just that’s. That’S not going to happen.
I’M just saying. Look, I’m just Twitter roulette! Look at the comment section of any trending tweet in public. I actually there’s a bullet in every chamber. I have specifically opened and then immediately reflectively been like oh geez and closed Twitter before because I was like I’m in public and I can’t really guarantee that what comes up is going to be okay, oh yeah, 100 % nope anyway. My point was just this direction: that they’re in heading in this goal seems admirable, seems good um. The fact that they didn’t weren’t working on this already is the opposite of all of that, and now that they’re doing this, I I just don’t think people are going to use it. I mean it’s: no, it’s no secret that people use the least naned platform, because that’s what they want to do. Yeah, uh, Avery, Studios and flpl says they already warn about violent content, Etc.
If you said it, so this looks like an expansion of something that they kind of already do. Yeah content warnings, .
