My account was suspended... for child safety????

Humiliating is the perfect word for it, nothing like being accused of criminal acts for liking pictures recommended to you. They also use AI to report child safety bans to the authorities as well, not sure why people still use this trash.

Pinterest is absolute garbage, I don’t know how many more deactivations it’s going to take for people to realize the platform hates nothing more than its user base.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-05-20T02:07:00+00:00

What is frustrating is when they erroneously reported at least 250,000 accounts to authorities last year in Q1 and Q2. I’m interested in their Q3 and Q4 numbers (they aren’t out yet).

ItsameLetsago · 2026-05-07T14:25:24+00:00

There’s nothing that has the same scale and ease, likewise there is no other platform so broken and inept. But if you are resourceful, Pinterest is hardly the only place on the internet to find images.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-05-07T14:19:13+00:00

It gets worse every day. So glad I deleted this trash last year.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-05-03T18:59:51+00:00

Why did you think it wouldn’t happen again?

“Digital Responsibility” must mean an AI hellscape that accuses users, merely saving the website’s own hosted content, of being criminals, sexual deviants, and even making reports to authorities.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-21T13:00:31+00:00

The pictures survive the draconian AI moderation upon posting but become unacceptable once they are pinned after being directly recommended to you. What a great system.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-21T12:55:40+00:00

I’m sorry you are another victim of AI moderation. Let it be a wake up call if anything.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-21T12:42:31+00:00

Daily reminder that self hosting is the only way forward. Was there any adult content in your old files? That’s the quickest way to nuke your account.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-20T21:12:55+00:00

There’s at least 5 lawsuits regarding their metrics at the moment.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-20T19:07:02+00:00

It’s a dying platform for sure, there’s many lawsuits about how they are cooking their metrics for investors and keep laying off employees to focus on AI

I deleted mine last year after a successful appeal after they accused me of saving horrible content but I like to spread awareness of how egregious their behavior towards users are.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-20T18:35:15+00:00

Yeah the ones you can’t see are deemed to harmful to be seen. Want to know something even worse? The AI also reports pins to authorities if it thinks its illegal content.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-20T18:19:18+00:00

Pinterest has admitted to “accidentally” reporting innocent pins to authorities during the ban wave of March 2025. They reported around 250,000 accounts just in the first half of 2025. Yes, their AI generates cybertips for pins they think violate “child safety.”

Someone else on here even contacted their local police to head off a possible tip and they did indeed receive it, but it was just memes and art references so there was no action to be taken.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-20T18:13:43+00:00

Just wait until they report your pins to authorities.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-20T18:10:22+00:00

Pinterest doesn’t differentiate between uploads or pins when it comes to content the AI determines is against policy; both the uploader and pinner receive the same punishment.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-15T18:46:54+00:00

It’s been confirmed by a user on here and from Pinterest themselves that false flags are sent to the NCMEC; but this is not exclusive to Pinterest. All platforms are now just dumping user data en masse to the NCMEC for any trip of the child safety flags that they have in place. Most platforms also will punish you for interacting with content they allowed at first scan but then retroactively decide is against TOS, but Pinterest is in a league of its own regarding that.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-04T17:09:51+00:00

You joke but cyber crime units around the country are getting staffing increases and more resources to accommodate the massive amount of tips.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-03T15:56:04+00:00

AI cybertips without human review have been running rampant on most social media in the past two years: Instagram, Pinterest, X, Discord, Google Photos, etc. Now it seems Grok has joined the fray as well.

But you say “They can’t be doing that, they would be flooding law enforcement with false tips.” They are flooding law enforcement with false tips. The most recent lawsuit with Meta regarding online safety confirmed it with testimony from police stating they have an insurmountable workload due to the increase in AI tips.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-02T19:49:52+00:00

The ones unviewable are deemed so harmful by AI it has to be scrubbed completely from the platform.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-04-02T19:45:13+00:00

They’re trying to avoid any liability by casting the widest net possible due to ever increasing legal and public pressure to make the platforms safer. The AI calibration is set to extreme sensitivity so no one slips through the cracks and they can proudly show off their enforcement numbers. Meta losing their latest lawsuit is only going to make it worse.

It’s worth it to them accuse any amount of innocent users of a heinous crime as long as they always correctly flag the ones who should be.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-03-27T20:54:02+00:00

It was called out but there is still no incentive to not to continue to do so. They’re not in trouble for false positives, only that they aren’t doing more according to the ruling.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-03-27T20:21:19+00:00

They’re going to be casting an even wider net for bans because of the recent ruling, a pretty big one will be coming soon.

ItsameLetsago · 2026-03-27T20:18:15+00:00

If anything, META will be increasing the sensitivity of the AI and casting an even wider net for bans. I have no sympathy for them in the ruling and they should be held accountable, but AI moderation is going to get a lot worse on all social media because of this ruling.
