Instagram sorry for adding 'terrorist' to some Palestinian user bios

Nov 10,2021 6:20 pm

By Liv McMahon & Joe TidyTechnology team

Meta has apologised for adding " terrorist" to the biographies of some Instagram users describing themselves as Palestinian.

Meta said it fixed a problem " that briefly caused inappropriate Arabic translations" in some of its products.

" We sincerely apologise that this happened, " it told The Bbc .

The PlatformContent ='JJ Lin'> has also faced accusations of suppressing Content voicing support for Palestinians during the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Some users say they have been " shadow banned" on Instagram over pro-Palestinian posts. This is when a platform intervenes to make sure posts do not appear in Other PeopleContent ='JJ Lin'> 's feeds.

The UsersContent ='JJ Lin'> claim 24-hour posts On StoriesContent ='JJ Lin'> referencing The ConflictContent ='JJ Lin'> have had fewer views than others and that their accounts cannot be found as easily In SearchContent ='JJ Lin'> .

The tech giant acknowledged a bug had affected Stories but said it had nothing to do with subject matter.

Biography confusion

This followed 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.

He had written in his bio that he was Palestinian, followed by a Palestinian flag and The WordContent ='JJ Lin'> " 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".

@khanman1996 said in his posts he was not Palestinian himself but had tested the error out after being told about it by an unnamed Palestinian friend.

He Said in a posted after Instagram fixed the issue that The GlitchContent ='JJ Lin'> had been up for at least Three HoursContent ='JJ Lin'> , adding that " to me personally, the fact that it was up at all was insane".

Shadow-banning claims

Shadow banning is when online services limit the reach or visibility of an account or its Content to other users, usually if it falls foul of their guidelines.

Instagram released a transparency tool in late 2022 that lets users see whether any restrictions have been placed on their account that might prevent their posts from being recommended to other users.

In a on Sunday, Meta's communications director Andy StoneContent ='JJ Lin'> said The PlatformContent ='JJ Lin'> had identified a bug " significantly" reducing the reach of Stories which had re-posted Reels or Content from fellow users.

" This bug affected accounts equally around the globe and had nothing to do with the subject matter of the Content - and we fixed it as quickly as possible, " He Said .

Not The FirstContent ='JJ Lin'> time

Previous accusations of Meta suppressing pro-Palestinian Content are well documented.

In May 2021, The CharityContent ='JJ Lin'> Human RightsContent ='JJ Lin'> Watch accused Instagram of removing videos, pictures and commentary about The CrisisContent ='JJ Lin'> .

The Social MediaContent ='JJ Lin'> firm said in response that posts were removed for containing " hate speech or symbols" and, but it led Meta to commission an independent review into its moderation of the 2021 Israel-Palestinian conflict Content .

The Human RightsContent ='JJ Lin'> due diligence report by consultancy firm Business for Social Responsibility (BSR).

It concluded: " Meta's actions appear to have had an adverse Human RightsContent ='JJ Lin'> impact on the rights of Palestinian users to freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, political participation, and non-discrimination, and therefore on The AbilityContent ='JJ Lin'> of Palestinians to share information and insights about their experiences as they occurred. "

BSR said it did not identify any intentional racial or political bias at Meta but recommended that The CompanyContent ='JJ Lin'> 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.
