    What's up with FaceBook's censorship?

    Just got a notice that a picture was removed for nudity. It was a picture of a tit, but there was a removable tat covering the nipple.

    My concern is this, who is going through and monitoring all the content on our personal pages? It is only viewable by friends, so I am a little surprised.

    Anyone have any insight to the workings of FB?

    Skin censors have been around for a while. Too much skin and it'll set off a flag.

        So they have people that have access to my private albums? Or is my privacy nixed by other "friends" letting their stuff be visible to all?

          Skin censors are automated bots that look for skin. When they go off, they probably get sent to a human to review and either flag it, delete it or its marked as a false positive. These are staffers of Facebook, not some random people.

                I've heard that they have hundreds on the payroll who sit and monitor all content that gets added and censors everything to keep it clean.
                They are damn fast, when you consider just how much is going on during any given day.

                They have a 0 tolerance policy. Do it again, your account may just get nuked.

                  Yep.

                  Google has talked about this before on WMR I believe it was. Kinda how they 'scan' for images on sites for adsense, Google images, and so forth.

                  While admitting it is not perfect, it is some kinda roaming bot that scans and flags for human review..

                          Her tits are big, but not that big. AaronM's or Z's bald head must set off a ton of alerts.

                          I am not convinced that I should care. May be time to give it a whirl and find out.

                            Its not based on size, its based on curvature and darkness/light ratios from one area to another. I did a senior class on making skin filters in my upper year programming courses. You'd be surprised how much mathematics goes into these kinds of filters.

                              Facebook has quite a few people monitoring things that their scripts etc don't find, or do find and then monitors have a second look.

                                      I'm on some crafting forums, lots of stay-at-home mom types there. They've been ticked lately because facebook deletes their breastfeeding pics.

                                        See, that is total bullshit. Makes me pay more heed to the conspiracy nuts that say it is a CIA operation.
