The “see translation” feature for user bios was auto-translating phrases that included “Palestinian” and “alhamdulillah” into “Praise be to god, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom.”

        Wtf am I supposed to say when someone gets weird and aggressive about their preferred religion? No point in discussing anything.

          You were the one who started off weirdly aggressive by likening nationality and religious belief to terrorism. What did you expect to happen with such a blanket statement like that?

              Okay? That’s not at all the point of the discussion, though, so why bring it up?

              Did you read the article? Or even the very first paragraph?

              Instagram was auto-translating user bios that included “Palestinian” and an Arabic phrase that means “praise be to God” to say “Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom,” which the platform says it’s very sorry for.

              Tell me how your comments are at all relevant.
