脸谱网真的限制性暗示的使用吗表情符号在它的平台上？是的，但是答案——一如既往——比最初出现的要复杂。
报道于本月出现，最初来自一个名为XBIZ，那个马克扎克伯格由牵头的网站最近更新了其社区标准，对以下内容进行了新的限制表情符号使用，表明这可能会对性工作者产生负面影响。
看似在9月份更新的保护指南涵盖了脸书和流行的图片聚焦应用程序Instagram，落入一个”性诱惑“政策。
从最初开始XBIZ报道称，一些小报利用标题推进了这个故事，似乎暗示现在将绝对禁止使用性暗示表情符号，其中有成为第二语言在互联网上。
事实并非如此，尽管社交媒体指南的措辞仍然相当宽泛。
要违反这一政策，用户的帖子必须符合两个标准:它必须包含一个“提议或询问”[ie。要求性，要求裸体或要求明确的聊天]以及“暗示性元素”，包括“特定语境和普遍的性”表情符号或者表情符号琴弦。"
暗示性元素还包括“裸体被人体部位、物体或数字障碍物覆盖的真实个体的图像，包括全裸臀部的长镜头”和“提及或描述性活动，例如:性角色、性姿势、恋物癖场景、兴奋状态、性交行为或活动(性渗透或自我愉悦)。”
第一个标准影响“含蓄或间接”提供或要求性材料的帖子。代表们说，间接请求包括提供单独联系方式的帖子。
如果该材料被认为违反了规定，可以将其从平台上清除。现在还不清楚脸谱网是否在扫描该网站的违规内容，但很可能使用已经到位的人工版主、用户报告和自动化的混合方式。
本质上，性表情符号像茄子、桃子和舌头，在平台上并没有被完全取缔，但是它们是当贴在性“询问”旁边时受到限制。
“[内容]只会被删除...如果它包含性表情符号除了含蓄或间接要求裸体图像、性或性伴侣或性聊天对话。我们不仅仅是针对表情符号一位脸书公司发言人告诉记者新闻周刊。
这不会影响到所有用户，但该政策的一个后果可能意味着任何使用账户从事色情工作或色情活动的人都会受到影响。例如，用表情符号覆盖生殖器现在可能会被标记。Gizmodo此前曾报道过社交网络的算法如何潜在地暴露性工作者的身份。
Facebook表示，它限制“可能导致招揽的语言，因为我们全球社区中的一些受众可能对这类内容很敏感，这可能会妨碍人们与朋友和更广泛的社区联系的能力。”
在之前的声明中每日点，一位公司发言人证实了这些变化，但也表示该政策的实施已经取得了良好的效果。
发言人说:“我们在我们的社区标准网站上公布这些变化，这样我们的社区就知道了。通过这次更新，无论是政策本身还是我们如何实施，都没有改变，我们只是更新了语言，让我们的社区更加清晰。”
这些规则与现有规则并行工作成人裸体和性活动禁止张贴真实或暗示的可见生殖器的政策交流勃起和极端恋物癖。

ARE FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM REALLY BANNING 'SEX' EMOJI?
Is Facebook really limiting the use of sexually-suggestive emoji on its platforms? Yes, but the answer—as always—is more complex than it first appears.
Reports emerged this month, initially from an adult industry news website called XBIZ, that the Mark Zuckerberg-led website had recently updated its Community Standards with fresh restrictions on emoji use, suggesting this could negatively impact sex workers.
The safeguarding guidelines, seemingly updated in September, cover both Facebook and the popular picture-focused application Instagram, falling under a "Sexual Solicitation" policy.
Since the initial XBIZ reporting, some tabloid outlets have furthered the story using headlines that appear to suggest there will now be an absolute ban on the use of sexually-suggestive emoji, which have become a second language on the internet.
This isn't exactly the case, although the wording of the social media guidelines remains fairly broad.
To violate the policy, a user's post must meet two criteria: it has to contain an "offer or ask" [ie. asking for sex, asking for nudes or asking for explicit chats] alongside "suggestive elements," including "contextually specific and commonly sexual emoji or emoji strings."
Suggestive elements also includes "imagery of real individuals with nudity covered by human parts, objects or digital obstruction, including long shots of fully nude bottoms" and "mentions or depictions of sexual activity such as: sexual roles, sex positions, fetish scenarios, state of arousal, act of sexual intercourse or activity (sexual penetration or self-pleasuring)."
The first criteria impacts posts that "implicitly or indirectly" offer or ask for sexual material. Indirect requests include posts that provide a separate method of contact, reps said.
If the material is deemed to break the rules it could be scrubbed from the platform. It is not exactly clear now Facebook is scanning the website for offending content, but likely uses the mixture of human moderators, user reporting and automation already in place.
Essentially, sexual emoji, like eggplants, peaches and tongues, are not being totally outlawed on the platforms, but they are being restricted when posted alongside a sexual "ask."
"[Content] will only be removed... if it contains a sexual emoji alongside an implicit or indirect ask for nude imagery, sex or sexual partners, or sex chat conversations. We aren't taking action on simply the emoji," a Facebook company spokesperson told Newsweek.
It will not affect all users, but one consequence of the policy may mean that anyone using accounts for sex work or pornography could be impacted. For example, posting nude images with emoji covering genitalia may now be flagged. Gizmodo has previously reported on how the social network's algorithms potentially expose the identities of sex workers.
Facebook says it restricts language that "may lead to solicitation because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content and it may impede the ability for people to connect with their friends and the broader community."
In an earlier statement to The Daily Dot, a company spokesperson confirmed the changes, but also said that its enforcement of the policy was already well in effect.
The spokesperson said: "We publish these changes on our Community Standards site so our community is aware. With this update, nothing changed in terms of the policy itself or how we enforce it, we simply updated the language to make it clearer for our community."
The rules work alongside the existing adult nudity and sexual activity policy, which bans the posting of visible genitals, real or implied intercourse, erections and extreme fetishes.
