\"The<\/div>

Not Safe For Twitter<\/h2>

On Thursday morning, Twitter’s top trending hashtags included some extremely sexually charged words and phrases.<\/p>

These hashtags included “#creampie” and “#forcedanal,” Motherboard <\/a><\/em>reports<\/a>. While the social media platform says it’s investigating what went wrong, the X-rated trends are a particularly damning indictment against putting content moderation<\/a> in the hands of algorithms<\/a> and machines.<\/p>

Damage Control<\/h2>

A Twitter spokesperson told Motherboard<\/em> that the explicit hashtags “should not have appeared in trends” then shared a link to Twitter’s policy of preventing “adult\/graphic references” from trending.<\/p>

Also banned from trends, Motherboard<\/em> reports, are posts that contain profanity, a broad spectrum of hate speech, and anything that violates other Twitter rules.<\/p>

But apparently, somehow, literal sex terms and a reference to apparent sexual assault managed to slip past moderation.<\/p>
