Get out of my head.
Big Banking is evil!!!
Things like this are why we will have a second Trump term.

INDEED, doogā¦
(ā¦and āWhite Privilegeā; and āDemocratic Socialistā; and gun-ban hysteria; and āFree Speech for meā¦but not youā; and ādeplorablesāā¦and, and, andā¦")ā¦
Wowā¦
Well those misogynist Founders didnāt reference all peoples ā¦ only men, and they clearly only meant cis-gendered white men when referencing āAll men were endowed by their Creatorsā¦ā what about the atheists who donāt believe in a Creator? They were not endowed with inalienable rights? Clearly hate speech
Did you read the article? The passage in question, and it was just a passage and not what the click bait title states (but that is the Washington Times for you), is racist. The Founders owned slaves, meaning they were racists, so why would it be any wonder that an anti-racism algorithm would find something racist among their writings?

You might want to read the article. This is the passage in question:
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
and you might want to lighten up a bit - this is the Stupid Thread ā¦ not the āletās scrutinize every fuckin article to make sure we donāt misrepresent somethingā threadā¦Thereās copious amounts of thread where we do that - let this one be a little light ffs

I read the article. The passage was indeed part of the declaration of independence. The title was pretty accurate, not really click bait.

At least we know their algorithm is clearly working.
Fingers crossed they start whitelisting phrases from religious texts / govt stuff though. Seems silly to remove stuff just because itās explicitly racist when itās quoting history
Youād think the FB algorithm would recognize a passage from the Declaration of Independenceā¦
Thatās assuming their programmers can recognize the passage from the Declarationā¦my moneyās on they canāt

Without explicitly telling it to ignore the DoI passages, why would it? Racist language is racism, doesnāt really matter if itās on behalf of people a lot of Americans adore to a computer

Iām not exactly Mr. programmer over here, but Iād expect the algorithm to be advanced enough to recognize certain things like one of if not the most important historical documents in US history.
Maybe Iām asking a lotā¦ But, yes, Iād expect it to ignore passages from certain things, like historical documents, for example.
See - having a bit of programming experience I wouldnāt. Theyād have to explicitly program the exception (Iām not an expert on FB algorithm but from my general knowledge and experience with programming, is where Iām coming from). I can definitely see them overlooking this - nor do I think itās malicious. Just something that wasnāt thought ofā¦

Youād have to be very specific. If you just tell it to ignore historical documents you just move the racist/hate speech from peopleās own words to start quoting Hitler / Stalin / FFs / etc instead
Iād bet nearly any amount of money that moving forward itās now ignoring verbiage if itās contained in US legal documents

Perhaps.
I mean, I donāt have a problem with thatā¦
Haha yeah I bet. Facebook probably would though.
But if the goal is to flag hate speech / racist etc, that algorithm absolutely accomplished itās goal.
