Why was my science post marked “sensitive” and “adult”?

Yesterday, I posted something about Rachel Carson (noted author and environmentalist) in the I Love Science group.

I see, however, that the photo was blurred and it is marked “sensitive” and “adult”.

Anyone have a clue why that is?

I have no idea why. Rachel Carson was ahead of her time in trying to educate people about the environment and chemicals.

@TeresaRudolph71 Sad...I used to use it till I heard it discussed on a NPR show and that was before the Europeans knew about it. Haven’t used it since.

@cherokeepatti Good for you. More people need to know, or it just needs to be outlawed.

@TeresaRudolph71 I’ve been telling people since I heard it being discussed on NPR.

No idea. I have a post about my dog and weirdness in my house and it’s been marked as fetish and adult. I suspect whatever plug in it is looks for key words and makes wild assumptions.

@TwiddlerofThumbs I corrected your post now.
Thank you! That was really thoughtful of you. @SW-Admin

You should probably contact one of the admins, I had a similar problem where all of the photos I used to post were tagged as adult automatically, @Nuno helped me immediately and the problem was solved.

Because of the well-oiled machine that is SW. Don’t take it personally.

@LyricalOne You’re being sarcastic aren’t ya?

@cherokeepatti Oh crap, let me get my jail uniform ironed. Brb.

@LyricalOne hope you like baloney and beans...

It's a useless system that has no rhyme or reason. A couple of my stories are marked as well. For no reason.

Computer fluke, that's all. [i]Silent Spring[/i] has nothing to do with "adult" topics whatsoever.

That moron who stood in front of a tank yes?

@sciguy18 It's been sorted now.

They were probably worried that she had an aborted fetus in the jar. Crazy!

No idea. Maybe the algorithm can’t tell what the image is because it’s black and white

It seems to have been sorted. At least it didn't get censored.
Some words seem to trip those labels. I posted a story about my childhood that they labeled “adult” and “fetish” ! 😅

@bijouxbroussard Owwww😑

My guess is it found a specific word or set of words and automatically applied the sensitive label. Maybe cancer? Communist? orphaned?
I don't know.
