Instagram users are experiencing unexpected content in their feeds due to algorithm changes. After searching for breastfeeding videos, some users, like Kelly Takasu, reported seeing bizarre AI-generated videos, including human-animal hybrids. In late February, Meta apologized for an "error" that flooded feeds with graphic content, including violence and gore. Users expressed distress over the disturbing material, which highlighted the challenges of content moderation on social media. Meta's recent relaxation of content moderation policies has drawn criticism, but the company stated that the surge in extreme content was unrelated to these changes. The rise of AI-generated images has contributed to the prevalence of shocking content on the platform.
