Twitter Wants To Tackle Its Biased Image Cropping Problem By Giving Users More Control

An anonymous reader shares a report: Last month, a bunch of users tweeted about how Twitter’s image cropping algorithm seems to have a bias towards fair-skinned people. When users posted uncropped images containing both light and dark-skinned people, the social network’s algorithm often showed the light-skinned person in the preview. At that time, Twitter said, while its algorithm was tested for bias, it will conduct further investigations to resolve the issue. Last night, in an update, the company said it’s planning to give users more control over how the final image will look like.
