Some problems don’t need machine learning. Crop to either the top or center and make a visual indication to tell the user there’s additional cropped material if the image is viewed in full. ML for this seems like a “solution” to a non-existent problem. https://t.co/CltKqX1xko

We saw your Tweets about the harm caused by how images are cropped on Twitter.

Today we’re sharing how we test for bias in our systems, and how we plan to rely less on auto-cropping and give you more choice in how images appear in Tweets:

"we are committed to following the 'what you see is what you get' principles of design, meaning quite simply: the photo you see in the Tweet composer is what it will look like in the Tweet." https://t.co/XahgIbsFk5

Twitter says it will move away with automated image cropping after lots of people pointed out that it appears to be biased. But also says it hasn't found evidence of said bias despite "potential for harm" https://t.co/OMM0w0Xv0p

Twitter commits to WYSIWYG for images after criticism over auto cropping that appears to have a bias towards lighter skin: "quite simply: the photo you see in the Tweet composer is what it will look like in the Tweet." // ty for listening and acting @dantley @paraga https://t.co/X2AGljfjQQ

"We are prioritizing work to decrease our reliance on ML-based image cropping by giving people more visibility and control over what their images will look like in a Tweet." https://t.co/xXuXQIJrcU

Twitter tested it's image cropping algorithm based on "where people might look first" which is a good example of automating bias.

The right fix is to allow people to crop photos themselves AND have the image preview in composer match the final tweet.https://t.co/NivpL4YrqE
