Meta Issues Apology After Instagram Reels Showed Graphic Content ⚠️

Meta apologized for an error that caused Instagram users to see violent and graphic content in their Reels feed, stating the issue had been fixed. Users had reported a surge in disturbing content despite having Instagram’s highest moderation settings enabled. Meta allows some graphic content for raising awareness on issues like human rights abuses and terrorism, but it may include warning labels. The incident follows Meta's policy changes to reduce content moderation errors, shifting its focus to severe violations while relaxing enforcement on lower-severity cases.
