Incident 7101 Report
Facebook AI Mislabels Auschwitz Photos as "Bullying" and "Nudity"

2024-04-15

Facebook's AI wrongly labeled 20 posts from the Auschwitz Memorial Museum as violating community standards for "bullying" and "nudity," even deleting one image of orphans. The mislabeling of respectful historical content outraged the museum, which demanded an explanation. Meta, Facebook's parent company, apologized, attributing the error to mistaken notices sent by their AI system and acknowledged the posts did not violate any policies.
