this is interesting as fuck

“I'm really interested in algorithmic enforcement ...” Ada Ada Ada told me in an interview. “It seemed like the nipple rule is one of the simplest ways ... because it's set up as a very binary idea—female nipples no, male nipples, yes. But then it prompts a lot of questions: what is male nipple? What is a female nipple?”

She's using her own journey as a trans person to document how AI tools like those used by Instagram identify potentially obscene material.
