This is concerning but I wish people who write shit like this would stop lying. hashtags are not the algorithm "helping pedos" it's just a keyword search that is linked to others and showing clusters. (I'm pretty sure) The algorithm does not have a "pro pedo" weighting attached to it.
I'm all for instagram copping shit for it's existence, but I just want to point out that this article is a creative reinterpretation of the truth.
Now Tucker has jumped on board with repeating the accusations in this story, implying that their lead tech guy was bragging about its child porn recommendation capabilities. I'm pro taking down Instagram but he'd better be damn sure about it.
I mean if Tucker says it there's probably something behind it.
But a hashtag working as it's meant to do is not the same as a programmer reviewing each hashtag created manually, and programming instagram to find that stuff.
