Why Facebook wants to delete your Memes?

Facebook memes

 

Hello, my name Sumit and today we are talking about a very famous and funny topic MEMES.  In our day to day life, you can easily see memes in your social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and also in WhatsApp, But you ever thought how memes can affect our mindset, and after seeing a meme how will you react. For example below I mention some memes and after that notice yourself how you react after watching it.

 

Comment below and tell me what is your reaction after seeing these memes.

Memes play a very important role in our life. Most of the time when we depressed or we sad because of the problems we use social media and when we see funny memes we feel happy and suddenly our mood becomes to change. Many Instagram pages share very funny memes as well.

What are memes?

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogs to genes, in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.

Proponents theorize that memes are a viral phenomenon that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution^]. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influences a meme's reproductive success. Memes spread through the behavior that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.

A field of study called memetics arose in The 1990s to explore the concepts and transmission of memes in terms of an evolutionary model. Criticism from a variety of fronts has challenged the notion that academic study can examine memes empirically. However, developments in neuroimaging may make empirical study possible. Some commentators in the social sciences question the idea that one can meaningfully categorize culture in terms of discrete units, and are especially critical of the biological nature of the theory's underpinnings. Others have argued that this use of the term is the result of a misunderstanding of the original proposal.

Is it true that Facebook deletes your memes?

It appears as if the social network is cracking down on some of its most anarchic and interesting group. That standard error message above now recurs often across the internet because Facebook recently deleted a number of notable and popular meme pages maintained by its alternative communities, including “Cabbage Cat,” “Gangster Popeye,” and, for a time, “I play KORN to my DMT plants, smoke blunts all day & do sex stuff.”

Cabbage Cat had about 75,000 followers on Facebook at the time of its disappearance (and has more on Instagram). There have been 10 or so spin-offs of Cabbage Cat, mostly in the form of “vegetable animal” pages like Lettuce Dog. Cabbage Cat hosted the type of image macros popular on Instagram—images captioned with text above them in the style of a Twitter screenshot. Cabbage Cat creator John Trulli said that he started making these macros “to make fun of memes… [because] they were annoying”.

Gangster Popeye was also apparently removed for a political offense—impersonating President Barack Obama. 

“As if I’d really be trying to convince anybody that the President of the United States had taken over my meme page,” complained Gangster Popeye creator Rain Terranova. 

These narratives, of a hostile force taking over, are fairly common on Facebook humor pages (e.g., “Auntie Kayla” on Baby’s Names). When The rain was asked if there was any chance that someone might interpret this as a good-faith effort to impersonate the sitting president of the United States, she responded, “the President is a bad man who hates memes; I will leave it at that. I’m not saying he is in cahoots with Zuckerberg to take down meme pages, but I’m not saying that’s not the case either.”

When a social content publishing platform is provided to a user for free, it is funded by the value the user brings to the platform—as a viewer of advertisements, source of marketing data, or, in the case of influencers, creator of a specific audience. And content publishing continues to migrate more and more to social networks. Publications like The Awl and Pacific Standard, for example, have moved to medium.

Ultimately, users, as a major source of a social network’s value, become frustrated over the lack of certainty as to whether or not the platforms they have built upon will continue to exist from one moment to the next. (Dennis Cooper, for one, is contemplating suing Google after it erased over a decade of his work from its Blogger platform). That users do not have a sense of data and/or brand security on social media is, perhaps, a flaw of the contemporary internet which happens to be felt most acutely on Facebook, where moderation is especially unpredictable. Something the admin of Shit Memes told in 2014 still rings true: 

“Facebook is not the forum for this kind of shit at all.” 

Why Facebook delete your memes?

Facebook AI

Social media giant Facebook has launched a competition with a $100,000 prize pool in order to develop an artificial intelligence system that can detect “hateful” memes.

The company will provide people with a data set that researchers can train their algorithm, a finite process of instructions that a computer can follow in order to solve problems.

While humans are able to understand that the words and images in a meme are supposed to be read together, with contextual information from one informing the other, Facebook says that memes are difficult for computers to analyze because they cannot simply analyze the text and image separately.

Instead, they must “combine these different modalities and understand how the meaning changes when they are presented together,” the company wrote in its announcement.

Many creators make memes to offend someone or spread hate as well. They make memes on religion, abusive memes, or try to insult someone. Facebook is going to announce a contest in which you have to make an AI(Artificial Intelligence) algorithm to detect the hateful memes or abusive memes and delete it. This is helpful because many people make memes to spread hate on a particular caste or particular religion and many political parties use this thing.

Conclusion:-

Memes are going to be on-trend day by day. Many meme pages are making very good and funny content but some meme pages make memes to offend and spread hate just because of these memes many people fight on the basis of caste and religion. That’s why Facebook announces a contest in which they will instruct that you have to make an AI(Artificial Intelligence) algorithm to delete those memes which spread hate and make hateful content. By this act, many Facebook pages going to delete, and some pages already deleted. The prize for this contest is $100000. I mention the link below to join the contest.
