Silicon Valley: The news is hot that Facebook has refused to display some pictures of onions, calling them “obscene” and “inappropriate for children.”
The incident took place when a Canadian agricultural company, Gaz Seed Company, posted an advertisement on Facebook showing a pile of onions in a vegetable basket.
But Facebook’s automated program for identifying obscene, nude and inappropriate images for children marked brightly colored onions as “something else” and “sexual content.”

Ironically, the Gaze Seed Company also used very vague language in its ad text, writing only words like “very sweet, soft and big” and not saying that it was related to onions or agriculture. Selling products.
The next day, the company was notified by Facebook that an “extremely obscene” image had been used in the ad, so the ad would not be displayed on the website.
What was obscene in the onion advertisement? The issue is being debated between Facebook management and Gaz Company. However, artificial intelligence experts say that this ridiculous incident proves that automated computer programs have not yet become so “intelligent” that they can be trusted in every task and in every case.
