Pinterest's AI Moderation Goes Rogue: Mass Account Suspensions and Pin Removals

Pinterest is facing a user backlash after a wave of unexplained account suspensions and pin removals. Users report losing access without warning or explanation, with seemingly innocuous content like quilting magazines and Minecraft builds flagged as 'adult content.' While Pinterest claims it's enforcing community guidelines, the sheer volume of suspensions and slow appeals process point towards a possible AI moderation malfunction. The company acknowledges the high volume of appeals but offers no timeline for resolution, fueling speculation about an overzealous algorithm.
