Facebook apologizes after its AI put ‘primates’ label on video about black men
RT ^ | 9-4-21 | RT

The video, uploaded by UK tabloid the Daily Mail in June 2020, contained clips of two separate incidents in the US – one of a group of black men arguing with a white individual on a road in Connecticut, and one of several black men arguing with white police officers in Indiana before getting detained.

According to The New York Times, Groves posted the screenshot in question to a product feedback forum for current and former Facebook employees. A product manager then called the recommendation “unacceptable” and promised to investigate the incident.

Last year, Facebook formed a team at Instagram to study how different minority users are affected by algorithms. The move was made after the social media giant was criticized for overlooking racial bias on its platforms.

The same thing happened with Google's AI a few years ago.

I just got out of 30 days FB jail a day ago. I was our for 4 hrs and back in for another 30.

The earlier time was when I posted the script from THE LIFE OF BRIAN(Stan wants to become a woman named Loretta and have babies) in which FB said it was a HATE post. They should take it up with Monty Python, not me.

This time it was because I mocked San Francisco’s attempt to pay people not to shoot each other. FB said I was promoting violence. They do not recognize “sarcasm” when they see it.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Riiiiight. Blame it on the some nameless, faceless "AI". Face it, Facebook. You're a bunch of racists. You are part and parcel of the demonicRAT view of blacks. Incapable of succeeding in school and life so you lower or eliminate standards like the Governor of Oregone recently did.

Cancel Faecesbook!

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up.

Surprise, surprise! They’re so woke that they’re asleep at the wheel. They canceled Roseanne for less. Will they cancel themselves?
