Apparently not working as well as one would hope. But it makes sense in a sad way. The algorithm gives people what they want to see and this is what they want. It doesn’t have a moral filter.
I thought that some were ordered not to have social media as part of their conviction. If so, lock them up.
So I guess the algorithm is primarily concerned with generating clicks/views regardless of the user and whether those clicking and viewing are likely to actually purchase the products being advertised?
Only while they are on active supervision. In Florida the general condition is no accessing the internet period until a risk assessment is done by a qualified practitioner with a favorable recommendation and then only with strict conditions and monitoring requirements. After probation is over, the conditions of supervision end. Registration requirements and distances from schools, etc. imposed by statute or ordinance continue.
Im shocked... beautiful women schilling beauty products attract leering men on social media. Id be interested in how Instagram should regulate who watches what ads. Criminally preying on women and girls is illegal whether you do it by engaging in a fishing group, puppy loving group, or some face cream ad for women.
The ads at issue reportedly depict younger girls rather than women. The pictures are not illegal, but many men with inappropriate interest are making contact with the accounts and quickly turning the discussion sexual. I don't doubt much of that is organic, but there are also many private and police undercover stings that happen similar to the show To Catch A Predator. The "stings" are all over YouTube. So while the social media content isn't illegal, it seems to play a big role in catching men who cross the legal line.
