Curious news always attracts attention, and today we present to you some about Facebook, TikTok, and Netflix that are a bit strange.
In the first place, we have TikTok, the controversial social network that continues to be an Instagram competition has hired a team of talents in Barcelona to filter content that may be abusive or sensitive. Although, there are permissions that the account complies with, the algorithm is still not able to filter the number of videos that are uploaded to Tiktok during all hours of the day.
This year from January to September, “TikTok has removed more than 104 million inappropriate videos, of which 90% were removed before they could be viewed by other users.”
Second, we have Netflix, which now has no start-up trial month for subscribers and gives away part of the second month. This has raised the doubt of many, and what we know is that Netflix wants to build loyalty with its customers. However, we do not know if their strategy will work. What we do know is that Netflix is so well known worldwide that this type of loyalty is taken for granted. What do you think of it?
Finally, the news from Facebook that impacted us the most, is that Facebook’s algorithm identifies onions as images with sexual or explicit content. This story begins with a campaign that The Seed Company decided to set up to promote onions known as Walla Walla. The images of onions were identified as sexual content, since they were shown in a basket and two of them, Facebook, identified them as breasts. But the onions are not the only innocent, but also the desert dunes are identified as naked bodies. What do you think? So now, be very careful when selecting images to mount Facebook campaigns.
