We're sexualizing underage girls, promoting some very iffy accounts, and serving this content to people who didn't ask for it instead of more inspiring interest content Tomas Kabbabe Sfeir (9/09/2020 14:12:11 PDT): >Thanks for flagging Melissa! I went to some of these accounts to check them out and they are FAR from being recommendable Melissa Kate (9/09/2020 14:12:26 PDT): >The Explore team fell into a trap where so much popular content in Explore was sexualized, it was really hard to ever make any adjustments to Explore to fix it because doing so would reduce time spent. Getting rid of it would impact communities like fitness, become really painful for our community because they were used to having that distribution which would create PR issues. So we should get ahead of this stuff before norms are established Tomas Kabbabe Sfeir (9/09/2020 14:13:11 PDT): >would be great to validate our classifiers and PEC metrics against these accounts Jayant (9/09/2020 14:34:03 PDT): >Yep, we are actually working on this as a po right now Jayant (9/09/2020 14:34:20 PDT): >sexual CEP is under development Melissa Kate (9/09/2020 14:35:04 PDT): >so glad to hear it Jayant (9/09/2020 14:35:10 PDT): >I made this dash to monitor any issues with ranking sources, we are running a test right now with the trending sources removed Jayant (9/09/2020 14:35:27 PDT): >since there was a spike in the psexual predictions of the content being served by those sources Jayant (9/09/2020 14:35:44 PDT): >https://fburl.com/unidash/bqs5th4m Jayant (9/09/2020 14:37:49 PDT): >most of these escalations are showing up on cover Tomas Kabbabe Sfeir (9/09/2020 14:44:40 PDT): >I guess this makes sense seeing how everyone sees the cover but holy smokes we need to be more careful about what we show there Jayant (9/09/2020 15:03:10 PDT): >yeah, definitely Jayant CONFIDENTIAL PLTF EX PLTF EX-04327 METANMAG-168-00000739 PLTF EX-04327_0001 exhibitsticker.com (9/09/2020 15:21:06 PDT): >In case you guys are interested: https://fb.workplace.com/groups/972791323185911/permalink/1008999359565107/ Tomas Kabbabe Sfeir (9/09/2020 19:07:40 PDT): >This is a great summary.
