Anything exposed to the open internet devolves into porn or racism or both unless active effort is made to prevent it. I'm reminded of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)
quite curious as to how Instagram managed to avoid this, despite launching with no moderation, (just Mike and Kevin), yet all you needed was an email to use the service...
They certainly have moderation now, and it's a constant exercise in boundary-pushing. I'd be interested in a "history of Instagram moderation", that would be a great piece of anthropology.
Was the no-links policy there from the start? I think that would have helped a lot. As it is, you're allowed basically one outbound link from your profile, so there are link-expander services which people use to link to more things.
Of all the ways I expected a talking banana to backfire, I didn't expect this one. Thanks for sharing
