DAE see AI content filters blocking important news?

During a crisis, an AI filter removed posts about safety updates. This shows how automated systems can fail when we need them most.

My friend couldn't see evacuation routes when the filter blocked them.

Filters try to stop bad posts, and that's usually good. When a crisis hits, they sometimes block safety updates by accident. Then people miss out on news they really need.

The scarier part is when those blocked updates send people looking for news anywhere else. They end up trusting random, unverified sources just to get information. That swap from filtered facts to wild rumors can make a bad crisis so much worse.

You're right about people swapping filtered facts for rumors. What @angelaw78 said about filters blocking safety updates makes me wonder if the real problem is that algorithms can't tell good info from bad in a messy, fast-moving crisis. They just see "chaos" and block it all.
