Instagram sorry for adding ‘terrorist’ to some Palestinian user bios::It says it fixed a problem “that briefly caused inappropriate translations” in some Instagram profiles.

I thought this was The Onion at first…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
This followed posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, and TikTok by Instagram user @khanman1996 on Sunday which drew attention to the translation error and documented it happening in a screen recording.
In a statement posted on X on Sunday, Meta’s communications director Andy Stone said the platform had identified a bug “significantly” reducing the reach of Stories which had re-posted Reels or content from fellow users.
The social media firm said in response that posts were removed for containing “hate speech or symbols” and changed its algorithm, but it led Meta to commission an independent review into its moderation of the 2021 Israel-Palestinian conflict content.
The human rights due diligence report by consultancy firm Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) was published in September 2022.
BSR said it did not identify any intentional racial or political bias at Meta but recommended that the company should offer more detailed explanations to users who have their posts or accounts removed and improve language skills of staff in Hebrew and Arabic dialects.
On Thursday, Meta and TikTok were sent formal requests by the European Commission for more information about their measures to limit the spread of disinformation and illegal content in the wake of Hamas’ attacks.
The original article contains 695 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I have long, long become skepical when someone is called a terrorist, especially in an official capacity or by a pundit.
Terrorist today is like communist in the 1960s, a derisive ideological buzzword.
Thanks to FBI gaslighting dozens of folks in long expensive sting operations, we shouldn’t even count convictions in the United States.

This is of zero surprise. The US largely favors Jews and Mark himself is Jewish AFAIK.
He had written in his bio that he was Palestinian, followed by a Palestinian flag and the word “alhamdulillah” in Arabic - which translates to “praise be to God” in English.
However, upon clicking “see translation”, viewers were given an English translation reading: “Praise be to God, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom”.
I think this is just an error. If it was a pro Palestinian play they wouldn’t call them terrorists. If it was a pro Israel play they wouldn’t have said fighting for their freedom.
yeah it probably was an AI based translator trained on biased data.
The Jew hate masks are off, your face is particularly ugly.
Your conspiracy is so stupid it’s actually backwards. That’s how blinded by your bigotry you are.
“you can’t just call me an antisemite! That’s how Israelis gas light us!” Says the antisemite using the situation to push their Jewish hate
Not everyone who criticizes Israel is an antisemite but for the ones that are their numbers are very much nonzero and I’ve seen it a lot on lemmy
Free Palestine btw
Where in the comment that I responded to do they mention Israel?
Mate, you dropped your tinfoil hat.
It’s probably a white pointy hat
How many Palestinians run major US based companies compared to those who are Jewish that run major US companies? I’d say it’s probably a 1:10 ratio. NYC has a massive Jewish population and they run tons of lucrative businesses.
We already know Facebook/Meta is a shitty company that “engineers” rage in order to foster “engagement”.
It’s really not that far of a stretch. It’s done all the time with politics (GOP vs Democrats), so why is it crazy for me to think that Meta is pro-Israel?
Hey look, someone who only read the headline!

Fucking hell, mate. Go measure your own skull and leave everyone else alone.
