Meta's Board of Supervisors has highlighted topless photos posted in 2021 and 2022 by Instagram accounts owned by transgender and non-binary couples in the United States. Both photos showed a couple with their nipples covered and their breasts exposed, with captions referring to health care for transgender people and one of the couples soon to undergo breast flattening surgery. was mentioned.
In addition to topless photos, the two posts also added ``photos of T-shirts sold by couples,'' and the two urged them to buy T-shirts to help cover the cost of surgery. Meta reviewed these posts for violations of our Community Standards through our automated detection system and user reports.
Upon review, Meta found a sexual solicitation prohibiting the promotion of adult sexual relations or commercial sexual services because topless photos and links to fundraising pages were included in the same post. It was determined that it was in violation of the community rules for , and that each content was deleted. The couple appealed Meta's decision, and after the oversight board received the appeal, Meta retracted the post's deletion, claiming it was due to an error.
In an official statement, the oversight board said, ``We have determined that the deletion of these posts is inconsistent with Meta's community standards, values, and human rights responsibilities. I'm highlighting it,' he said, pointing out that there was a problem with the decision to delete the post.
According to the Oversight Board, the internal guidance for moderators on removing content based on sexual solicitations is much broader than what is publicly available and is confusing to both users and moderators. In this case, too, an automated detection system trained on community standards for sexual activity detected the post and sent the photo to a human moderator.
A community policy that should be checked by human moderators prohibits posting images containing female nipples, except in certain circumstances such as breastfeeding or gender reassignment surgery. However, the oversight board said, ``This policy is based on a binary view of gender and the distinction between male and female bodies,'' and how the provision applies to people such as nonbinary and transgender people. claimed to be unclear. It has also been pointed out that moderators are required to subjectively evaluate gender and gender, and that it is not suitable for large-scale content moderation.
In particular, the exception to the policy regarding female nipples has been viewed as a problem in the past, and there are various exceptions such as going topless for political protests and breast cancer awareness campaigns, and it is said that the definition is insufficient. About. The Oversight Board said, 'For example, in some contexts moderators must assess the extent and nature of visible scarring and decide whether specific exceptions apply. There are no specific exceptions to this policy.' The lack of gender creates uncertainty for users and reviewers, making it impractical.'
Meta has a strict policy against nudity out of concern about the increase in pornographic content, but the oversight board has stipulated that ``some bodies are sexual in nature, while others are not.'' It challenges the 'public morality' stance.
'We have consistently said that Meta must be sensitive to how its policies affect people who are being discriminated against,' the oversight board said. We have found that Meta's policies regarding nudity have increased barriers to the representation of women, transgender and non-binary people on the platform,' he said, adding that the restrictions on topless photos were inappropriate for people of sexual minorities. It claims that it can have proportionate adverse effects.
Based on the above review results, the Supervisory Board recommends the following to Meta:
• Define clear, objective and rights-respecting standards for governing adult nudity and sexuality community standards.
• Explain in greater detail the criteria by which content is removed in our publicly available Community Standards for Sexual Solicitations.
Revise the Guidance for Moderators on Community Standards for Sexual Solicitations to more accurately reflect the Public Policy Policy.
A Meta spokesperson told tech media Engadget, ``We welcome the oversight board's decision in this matter. We were reinstating the content prior to the committee's decision.' 'We are constantly evaluating our policies to make our platform safer for everyone. To support the LGBTQ+ community, we have more We know much can be done and will work with experts and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups to address various issues and product improvements.'
