#2Oce you upload the image, you get immediately suspended with the justification that the post contains personal information. The weird thing is the image contains no text whatsoever, or anything for that matter that could associate the image as a genome.
This is the COVID genome btw.

#3Very interesting...
Not at all qualified to even speculate on this so I would love to see what someone might think causes it. Surly a bug with a bot right? (vs someone manually setting a flag)

#4Maybe it's (mistakenly) flagged for copyright infringement?

#5Hmm. The "personal information" bit doesn't fit particularly well .
I'd bet on the image running afoul of something like an anti-steganography filter (except in this image the dots aren't actually hidden from human perception), and the "personal info" line is either an error or is intended as misdirection.
I mean, I suppose the unsavory folks doxxing others may be passing around and broadcasting that personal info in steganographic images (or, you know, as ordinary images), but I don't think that makes a lot of operational sense.

#6Surely: training dataset of "personal information" contained genome-related images.

#7With Discord I could not send an image of a car because it was considered "adult". Automatic systems are not at all up to the task of properly identifying new images, only known existing hashes.

Yes but... its a bunch of dots.
Letters maybe, but its not standard to represents genomes as dots. Thats just an "artistic" representation.
