Tumblr users are complaining about false flagging of non-mature content as 'mature,' impacting visibility due to settings that hide such posts. This predominantly affects innocuous posts like cat GIFs and artwork, possibly linked to recent AI-driven moderation updates. As other platforms like Instagram and Pinterest face similar issues, Tumblr admitted the problem stems from an Android app update aimed at improving its filtering systems. They pledged to enhance these systems based on user feedback, aiming to balance safety with diverse content interests.
The experiments are continuing and, based on user feedback, will be improved before the changes roll out to other platforms.
We aim to respect a diverse set of interests and content preferences, which can be adjusted in settings.
According to numerous posts from impacted Tumblr users, posts have been falsely flagged despite not being sexual or violent.
This issue is tied to an update to the Android app, where the company said it’s been experimenting with improvements.
