An astronomer claims she has been locked out of her Twitter account since August after her video of a meteor shower was mistaken for explicit content by the social media giant’s moderation bots. The woman made a six-second animated video clip of the Perseid meteor shower but was locked out after it was flagged to have broken rules for containing “intimate content without the consent of the participant.” She said she will only be allowed back on to the platform if she deletes the tweet and ticks a box to acknowledge that she broke rules, which she disputes.
“I don’t really want it on my record that I have been sharing pornographic material when I haven’t,” she said. “I must have gone through the appeals process as many times as I can,” she continued. She isn’t the first user frustrated with Twitter after getting the X-rated flag for SFW material: “We found an online contact form on the help page, I must have contacted them eight times now, and I just get nothing.”
