Is it faulty, or is it specifically programmed to allow images of babies genitals?

I know when you rely on technology instead of humans, there's always going to be the odd thing that slips through....

The bodily waste...
The anus...

But the newborn baby scrotum is maybe pushing it a bit far

These photos have been up on Mumsnet for TWO WEEKS!

Cmon ffs

Hi there @kittensinthekitchen. The nappy pictures you mention here were posted with a sensitivity filter on and it's fairly clear what they are from the thread title and OP, so we'd hope no one without a strong stomach would open them over breakfast.

We can only see those two nappy pics here though so we're assuming the 'genitals' images you mention have since been removed? If we've missed them and they're posted elsewhere though do just let us know and we'll take a look.

Thanks for posting. We want to clarify what happened here and how our moderation process works.

We use a combination of automated tools and human moderation. Automated image filtering helps flag potentially problematic content, but it isn’t a substitute for people reviewing reports, which is why we also rely on user reports and manual checks.

In this case, images in the original thread were reported and reviewed by a moderator and then permanently removed in line with our policy. Once images are permanently deleted, they are no longer visible to other moderators. That’s why a later check could only see the remaining images, which were still live and correctly marked as sensitive. The rest of the thread was allowed to remain as it did not break our guidelines.

We want to assure you that there was no attempt to minimise or overlook reports. KellyMumsnet was explaining what she could see at the time.

If you've any further questions, please let us know.
