Instagram’s algorithm is more likely to place topless pictures higher in users’ news feeds than other photos, according to researchers at Algorithm Watch. The German nonprofit monitored posts from 37 creators from the accounts of 26 volunteers. Posts that contained semi-naked women were 54% more likely to appear in the volunteers’ news feeds than other photographs, and topless posts from men were 28% more likely to appear. The researchers collected data from 26 volunteer Instagram users to see which pictures from a select group of 37 creators were placed highest in their main feeds. It was done using a browser add-on, which automatically opened the Instagram homepage at regular intervals and analyzed the photos it saw there. Overall 2,400 photos from February to May 2020 were analyzed. Over that period, 21% of photos from the selected creator accounts contained a shirtless person (women in underwear or swimwear or bare-chested men.) In the volunteers’ feeds, however, these pictures made up 30% of all posts from those accounts. – BusinessInsider.com Regardless of the countless amount of engagements, we have as FashionGHANA with numerous fashion businesses, our explorer search is almost totally hindered by half-naked women and sexually provocative materials, as opposed to the earlier days of our Instagram engagements.

VIDEO: Gambia’s @MaximBady Exposes Pedophile Instagram Prostitute In New Comedy, But Is There Truth? DOES INSTAGRAM ENCOURAGES PROSTITION? Ofcourse! Despite the head company of Facebook and Instagram Meta denying this, it is very common amongst users that the social media platform is disproportionately flooded with half-naked or sexually provocative images. In a social media age where popularity equals voice, patronage, and clientele/business, Instagram is setting creating a culture encouraging and hailing women ready to make sexual innuendos. A platform that gives power to any odd prostitute that knows how to use a smartphone nonetheless. If Instagram and Facebook algorithms are capable of identifying words related to covid in posts and placing junctures on them, if the platforms are capable of facial and body recognitions, then of course it is capable of identifying and boosting sexually provocative images. The contrast between the number of half-naked teens appearing on Instagram compared to other platforms is very clear. Read More Like This On Ghana Progressive Insights UPCOMING PRIORITY EVENTS!
