don't post a picture of a meteor on Twitter

[Tomatobro]

According to the BBC a scientist shared a picture of a meteor on Twitter and is now locked out of the account.

Twitters AI analysis of the picture thought it contained inappropriate material. Now if it was a Starlink trail I could understand it but not a meteor .........

That’s why we all need a “Stu”  (other moderators are available). 👍

never send a machine to do a man’s or woman’s work.😂

Priceless!

The 'Scientist' is Mary McIntyre, she of S@N and other such places.

I don't have a twitter account. Doubt I will ever get one if that is the level of stupidity they apply.

Thank you to the SGL organic moderator team.

The worst of it is that she has to agree to posting inappropriate content to regain access to the account.

There's a reason why "twit" makes up most of its name...

Aside from some specialty discussion forums like this one, I dropped all social media well before COVID.  Can't say that I miss any of it.

Its a bit of a nuisance for Mary though.  She does a lot of out reach for astronomy and has been binned off by twitter because of their faulty system.

You can say what you like about it but it has massive reach which for out reach is great.

Never used any of it.

Makes my kids scream with laughter when I say 

“I’ll email the picture to you”😁

”Dad you are sooo old!”

The way I read that made me howl with laughter! 🤣

So we can expect more? Cool!

I don't bother with Twatter, it's not my thing.

I did have an account there, only used to enter a house raffle competition several years ago and lain dormant since. Was the only "social" media account I had, no FB or other mobile battery killing stuff for me thanks.  Deleted it as soon as news broke that the big twit was going to be buying it as did several friends. Is no surprise that its now lost lots of users and advertisers, I can see bankruptcy in its future or total failure of its app when the remaining workforce decide to tell him what he can do with his latest unreasonable terms of employment...

Yes!!! 😁

Just found the news article on posting dodgy meteor videos on Twitter…. AI.. more like Artificial Stupidity… going to be a long while before such systems should ever be trusted, having a human in the loop would seem sensible. Great to hear that the outcome is happy, though it doesn’t bode well for Twitter. (Never seen the attraction of “tweeting”), certainly not worth $8/month.

Anti social media - no thanks.👎

[Ratlet]

They've allowed her back on now.  Just in time for Twitter to implode.

[DaveL59]

Just read this which mentions the above account suddenly being restored, big brother is watching apparently

Is this really the end of Twitter? - BBC News

or someone maybe is...

[Tomatobro]

I like a happy ending even if its a bit late.

[DaveL59]

hopefully she's offloading all her content to shift it elsewhere before that ship succumbs to the huge torpedo the chief tw@t (or is that twerp?) has fired at it 🙂

Had a dormant account for ages , deactivated as soon as the spoilt megalomaniac got involved ... 

[maw lod qan]

Didn't have an account BE or plan on one AE.

I do admit being spanked by FB once which I couldn't understand why. Even a 12 year old who had listened in his history class would have understood what I had posted.
