The results suggest that the platform’s algorithms play an important role in directing men to photos of children. And they echo concerns about the prevalence of men who use Instagram to follow and contact minors, including those who have been arrested for using social media to solicit children for sex.
The tools compare new images with existing ones on the platform and identify users who previously showed interest in them, said Dean Eckles, a former Facebook data scientist who studied its algorithms and is now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.found that Instagram’s recommendation algorithm served sexualised photos of children and adults to accounts that followed only young gymnasts, cheerleaders and other children.
Sapiezynski said even if the system designated the test ads as “low quality”, that did not explain why those featuring children went to more men than those without children.’ test accounts received a message and a phone call from a man arrested in 2015 in Oklahoma after allegedly using Facebook to try to arrange group sex with girls ages 12 and 14.
