Someone at Instagram had to do this deliberately. This isn’t a bug. Someone wrote code to express their rotten politics.

The good news is that the commit will be easy to identify and they’ll lose their job. The sad news is they’ll likely never be outed publicly for being a racist piece of shit.

Eh, nope. Translations generally and always have been trained off of models. So it likely used articles and such describing palestinian terrorists.

That’s an interesting possibility that I hadn’t considered. Sorry for late, disconnected, reply. Been busy.

No worries 😂

It’s straight up Islamophobic.

All Palestinians are Muslim? But Palestine’s ambassador the other day claimed it’s not a religious war, so it can’t be religion-phobic? Maybe whoever at Instagram is just a Zionist?

I never said that. But the vast majority are. Also, source?

You implied that all palestinians are muslim.

You said it was, and I quote “islamophobic”.

you! literally you!

they were probably asking for a source on the ambassador

Calling all Muslims terrorists is the very definition of Islamophobic.

But thats not what they did, they called palestinians terrorists. Then numbnuts said that that is islamophobic, then another person replied and said that it’s not islamophobic because not all palestinians are muslim.

Then numbnuts replied that he never said that all palestinians are muslim and who said that.

Then i said, you, literally you did when you implied that all palestinians are muslim.

Now you’re caught up.

You’re being Islamophobic to the Muslim Palestinians, which are the majority.

And you’re being Christianophobic by not also being inclusive and implying that Christians can’t also be carrying out palestinian terrorism :P or is that more islamophobic technically, because you are assuming it’s only the muslims doing it 🤔
