now pinterest, behind the curtains, is slowly preventing the freedom of speech

Forum: Reclaiming the Internet Group

I don't really see people discussing the things with pinterest, the platform, which now openly allows AI and falsely flags real art as such. the platform, where your drawn anatomy tutorial - despite being 110% sfw - will get flagged and deleted. where you can run into AI, regardless of you turning it off in settings or not - the platform, where in the recommended, you can stumble into art where minors are sxualized, where you see AI generated shit of minors, slight nsfw, list goes on. I never in my life searched for either, I'm using the platform to share my own art, collect reference poses, anatomy poses (mostly drawn, not even photos) and room inspirations. this is it.

due to the (AI?) recommendations of similar art, when I keep clicking for too long, I can run into unhinged shit, wether it is a weird AI generated room, or the things above.


upon reporting them and hiding from my view, absolutely nothing happened. I saw the same shit again, days later. weeks and months later. I keep seeing blocked people's content, despite I personally wrote to pinterest to help me hide them. "no, they cannot solve it" I got the answer after trying to reach them 5 times via email. 


what they can solve however, is silencing artists. and you don't even notice it.


they are silencing artists, who are speaking up against censorship and AI. deviantart and other sites do this too, with this one joining in.

they are falsely banning anatomy tutorials, despite there is nothing nsfw in them, I get a report notice at least once a week, where - for some reason - I need to appeal, to let the fucking AI know that I'm not saving pins that openly advertise violence and sxual abse. what got under their radar,  is literally this: 

this is sxual, according to pinterest.

and this one is self-harm, according to them:

and this one? this one is adult content:

I have all of these in my inbox, because apparently, my saved pins are violating something nonstop. these aren't even uploaded by me, just saved. 

me commenting "HOME" was reported by their AI, then restored - I said this under a Sonic game screenshot.


and they are openly banning anti-AI art, that is the newest shit. because it "may cause discomfort" in people, this is the excuse. "may". 

sure.

1.4K likes of discomfort. multiple comments joking and being funny. but when I feel "discomfort" from something, for a reason? that does not matter. 

same shit on deviantart, this very same anti-AI image got 400+ favs, that's when the AI idiots started to find their excuses to harass and get me gone, and get the art deleted. 


...


no matter, how much people want to stay out of this, and just watch as others are slowly being destroyed. it will eventually come for all of you. they are already throwing a tantrum and banning over nothing.

The amount of violations reports I get simply for saved pins is insane. A lot of them are flagged "sexual content" but I know most of it is fandom bullsh*t, folks being petty over ships and reporting anything they don't like; or people getting their knickers twisted over queer stuff.

The sheer volume of AI things I see is getting to be f*cking insane, I'm glad to know it's not me.

I have AI turned off and still getting AI. there's also insane amount of temu ads, for wtf exactly ?..... nsfw temu ads are insane. 


I also get recommended the same shit over and over again, it's impossible by now, to get something else, which is sad. it feels like there's 20 people only, who ever submitted their room inspo, which is impossible.


this morning, Ben the pinterest employee just unwillingly confirmed that they don't gaf about minors being drawn in slight nsfw situations, and me not getting anywhere with reporting those. he said that pinterest recommends these based on interest, which is total bs. how about stop blaming the user bc their moderators suck. "if you report it, it'll disappear " and then between the reports i made, all of them are "checked, no change was made"


however I'm still a public enemy and my art is worse than anything. awesome, morals out on the window for them huh.

Guys I recommend you a site called Moodloom site on reddit everyone is talking that Pinterest sucks over a year ago I had to download over 7,000 pins before my account could do a bad end. Luckily I still have the account but without a PIN. They reported a lot of PINs to me, maybe almost 40 PINs, I don't know exactly but I was almost at the end of downloading all the PINs I had I noticed that the notifications in the banned PIN section were slowly disappearing.
