Instagram blames some moderation issues on human reviewers, not AI
Instagram head Adam Mosseri on Friday addressed the moderation issues that saw Instagram and Threads users losing access to their accounts, having posts disappear, and more, saying that the company "found mistakes" that it's attributing to human moderators. In a post on Threads, Mosseri addressed the issue that has been plaguing the social platforms over the past several days, adding that the mistakes it's found so far were due to content reviewers — people, not automated systems — "making calls without being provided the context on how conversations played out, which was a miss." The exec said Instagram was fixing the issues so the reviewers could make better calls and make fewer mistakes.
