'Stand Up For What You Believe In' meme
Case #

Facebook censors inspirational meme as "sensitive content": Several people on Facebook recently have been sharing an inspiration meme. The meme text reads: "Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means standing alone." The image shows a daisy growing in the sidewalk. There is nothing potentially offensive or sensitive about this meme, yet Facebook has been placing a sensitive content filter over it. This has happened on multiple posts of the image. It seems to be a faulty algorithm leading to this baffling outcome. Users must click through the sensitive content interstitial in order to view the filtered content. Not only do such filters give the impression of inappropriate content, similar filters have been shown to reduce user interaction with content.
