Snap bans AI video from Spotlight; LinkedIn adds AI-slop reports
Snap is banning AI-generated videos from its Spotlight feed to keep it focused on human-made content, though content edited with Snapchat's own AI tools remains allowed. LinkedIn has introduced a dedicated button for users to report 'AI slop' posts.
Why it matters: Two major platforms tightening rules around AI content in the same news cycle suggests low-quality AI-generated content has crossed a threshold where user trust and engagement are at risk, likely pushing other platforms toward similar moderation policies.
