@Moon > In late 2017, Facebook classified photos of the Venus of Willendorf shared by a female Facebook user as pornography and censored them. The company later apologized, stating that there was an exception for statues.
@kaia probably the main reason I am here is because it is psychologically very stressful for me to police everything I post and watch it get deleted by faceless moderation process. I am able to just post a picture of a famous statue and not worry my account is going to be closed.
@kaia@Moon and yet they insist filming people on the toilet doesn't violate their standards. And further still, morons push for them being the invisible executive.
@cereal@kaia When I was still on Facebook I always reported mob shit like "here's where this doctor that went on a safari (that I read about on Facebook) lives (I didn't check the address I got from some random person on Facebook), somebody burn down his house" and every single time they told me it didn't violate community standards. I used to think this was just some kind of incompetence but then later their Myanmar moderators were letting literal genocidal murder mobs organize on Facebook and I realized that evil people work there and Facebook is too big to even police their own moderation police let alone a couple billion users.
@cereal@ic3l9@kaia I kind of don't agree with this because I think there's enough shared humanity between Western Europeans and ethnic Burmese that they should realize marauding ethnic death squads is bad, but clearly they were okay with it in that case for reasons that typically are not transmitted through Western media that make their motivations more complex than Buddhism somehow acquired bloodlust for Muslims.
@ic3l9@Moon@kaia why should they? They can't relate to our ideas, we can't relate to theirs. Ethics in decision making is a matter of identity and that's rooted in culture and experience.
@Moon@cereal@kaia not to be racist or anything but i think you will not find a single burmese clickworker who will make decisions on domestic political issues that meet "western" ethical standards
