Pinterest says mass account bans were caused by an ‘internal error’

Pinterest apologized for a recent wave of “excessive implementation”, which has mistakenly eliminated many accounts. I have experienced the platform Some strange moderation issues In recent weeks, the angry users have informed their accounts have been suspended without warning or explanation. In response to many appeals, the platform was martyred with unlimited indicative violations.
The company initially addressed the ban with a statement with a statement saying that “it will constantly monitor the content that violates the guidance of our society and their accounts with the pioneering content, which may be canceled as a result.” This little answer did not do the calm of users who were calling Pinterest to clarify how to violate the platform instructions, and I complained that the calls to repeat the prohibited accounts by mistake were not treated, or are rejected without explanation.
On Wednesday, Pinterest Release By responding to a support publication published on X in July last year. “We have recently taken a measure regarding violations of our content policies, but the internal error led to excessive implementation and some accounts were activated by mistake,” Pinterest said on Wednesday in an updated statement. “We regret the frustration that caused this. We have repeated many affected accounts and we make response improvements faster when errors occur to move forward.”
Pinterest has not given any specific details about what was “internal error”, or what is the reason for it, or if it was solved. Some users have reported that Pinterest was also deleting pins for random and inaccurate content violations, such as pictures of daily beings that are marked for “adults content”, which leads to speculation that pins and accounts were reported through the AI’s moderate system that has been inappropriate. Since then, Pinterest said Techcrunch Moderation of artificial intelligence was not responsible for error.
Users who have been suspended by mistake in the past few weeks have started to restore access to their accounts, according to Reports on Pinterest Subreddit. Given the company’s how much the company deals with the company, some of the contempt users do not push for the tolerance of the platform.
