>Sup Forums posters say owner Hiroyuki Nishimura and moderator Jay Irwin are data-mining the image board for their information—raising questions about why Nishimura turned down GotNews editor-in-chief Charles C. Johnson’s offer to purchase the site.
>How it works: Nishimura allegedly uses one of his businesses to profit from mining data from Sup Forums, by selling users’ data to at least one company whose stock rose after Nishimura bought the site.
>“Brazil Future Search” is reportedly Hiroyuki’s search engine company specializing in real-time search solutions. They currently provide search for Niconico Douga [Japan’s version of YouTube] and 2ch.sc [a version of 2ch.net] and others,” a tip on Nishimura’s activities states.
>Step 1: Brazil Future Search will make a real-time search engine for Sup Forums text data only. They will forgo images because images are not important in data mining.
>Step 2: The new Sup Forums search engine will provide data to Effyis (boardreader.com).
>Step 3: Boardreader.com will add Sup Forums search to their board search.
>Step 4: Effyis (boardreader.com) will provide a firehose of data to Hottolink (their parent company) to use in data mining.
>Step 5: American companies will begin purchasing analytics data from Hottolink.
>Step 6: There is no step 6, you have already had your data sold to the highest bidder.
>Sources tell GotNews that such actions may be questionably legal.
It's possible that Chuck could fuck over Hiro legally.

Alex Jones should just buy Sup Forums. I'll buy as much Super Male Vitality as it takes.

What sort of use would such data even provide these people?

Oh no someone's going to find out I called someone a nigger or a kike. Woe is me, I stopped caring long ago.

Gubmints can already spy on us through ISPs much more efficiently. This is for the private sector, but even then it's fairly pointless.

a comment like that indicates that you are not afraid to speak your mind, have a disregard for manners and wish to interact with people to let them know and a product already tailor made to those prerequisites (if this is the trend for your sub group) will be offered and associated with other things you search.

You got to look on the bright side boys. Frankly there is nothing I post I would not say to a journalists face.
Noah Hill
I like Chuck Johnson and he does good work, but him acquiring Sup Forums would be one of the worst things to happen to the site.
Juan Adams
Do you think that includes our identities?
Bentley Kelly
>and a product already tailor made to those prerequisites will be offered I have never in my life bought anything based on advertisements. I am a conscious consumer who does his research, looks at the best offers and readers customer reviews if I want something new. This manipulative shit doesn't work on everybody. And the funniest thing is that most people on Sup Forums are like me, so these people are datamining everyone to get a chance to advertise to the minority of retards who do fall for these kikeries. It's pointless.
Robert Sanchez
oh no the government, the man in black, the fucking kikes know I'm a virgin neet fucking loser.
the sky is over
Christopher Butler
Why? What's he like? He seemed pretty chill on Gavin's show.
Aiden Brown
Old pasta. What are you hoping to achieve with this?
Oliver Robinson
We literally knew this from the day he bought the site. He did exactly the same thing on Futaba. Anyone who actually buys a pass is a gullible idiot, Hiroyuki is a hook nosed kike and not to be trusted.

Sure why not. What are you scared of?
I'd gladly defend both my views and right to free expression. Its no more than the average pub conversation in the end of the day but occasionally more amuzing. The real bonanza here is all the antfa and pedo data.
Jonathan Cox
I probably shouldn't have talked about how Anders Breivik did nothing wrong
Ryder Rogers

Jaxson Jackson
Demographics, political beliefs, social trends. Gun ownership - notice how there's been 'why don't you own an ar-15' threads lately? It's most likely to see how many people actually do or will soon.
John Taylor
>talked about how Anders Breivik did nothing wrong
Well you said it do you believe it or not and if you don;t believe it then why did you type it?
I always thought he was a cunt who shot up a bunch of kids. Say what you actually think, it would improve this board no end..

Oliver Thomas
>Let's try and market to a group of people who aggressively, almost pathologically, detest, avoid, and seek to invert the intentions of any advertising they come across.
Good luck with that.
Noah Ortiz
nah, but our locations and what other things we search are. it doesn't matter if you do or don't, it's all collated and that makes it way easier to market. I don't buy things that are advertised, I stopped watching tv because of ads and how they irritate me. but that is a market. people like that are probably (subjective, I know) more likely to be into impartial sourced news, conspiracy stuff, off the grid type shit. >not everyone but some is enough

Would it include the files we save, like porn and shit?

>Thinks there are free services in the world >Doesn't understand how desperately broke Sup Forums always has been >Thinks Sup Forums user data will be individually used. >Doesn't understand Sup Forums is a big data goldmine Sup Forums is a meme factory, it's the jew gold of the 21. century a propaganda/hate machine unparalleled, producing big data worth 200-400mn$ each year. Hiro is not getting that money though as all the shit surrounding Sup Forums makes it complicated for Sup Forums to find business partners, so Sup Forums is dirt poor and will probably stay dirt poor.
The problem with fucking over Sup Forums users is the chilling effect it'd have, honestly governments have more of an interest in shit slingers remaining on shit slinging message board than them being spread out over all services.
Don't leak or post evidence to Sup Forums, nobody gives a shit about anything else, no leaking/evidence rule has been true since a long time.
Colton Jenkins
>Sup Forums posters say Sup Forums posters are a source now?
Aaron Scott
They're going to know as soon as it's called into NICS. Not to mention just roll up on any sporting goods store or gun shop and pull the 4473s. They don't need Sup Forums to know what's going down when every mouth breather just puts every intricate detail about their life on social media alone.

All my posts are satire and do not represent my views nor do I express or follow these views, retroactively or any future posts I may make.
Aiden Martin
Doesn't matter what he's like. His motivations are political and he will meddle with the board to advance his personal agenda. That won't simply be a right-wing agenda either; it will be his personal brand of right-wing agenda.
Hiroshimoot may be selling anonymized data (like every other website, big deal) but he has displayed no signs of political bias one way or the other. This is as it should be.
There are lots of people on the right who I like, and Chuck is one of them, but I wouldn't want any one of them running Sup Forums.
Levi Scott
Guys, you do realize all you need is a Raspberry Pi with and a broadband internet connection to datamine Sup Forums, right? >github.com/Sup Forums/4chan-API
tens of millions and millions and millions of people own or have owned guns big deal not actually a crime you know. Tis shit may be pasta but the convo is interesting. dID YOU REALLY THINK YOU WERE ANONYMOUS ON HERE IF ANYONE WITH POWER CARED TO KNOW ARE YOU THAT DUMB.
Faggots should be cured, crossdressers are mental and islam is an abomination. Niggers deal drugs. Big deal everyone fucking thinks and knows these things anyway. Germans and the EU are cancer. Homecounty brits are wankers. Here I am. Hello. No one actually wants immigrants in their country.

Easton Hill

Asher Hall
Alt-right or alt-lite? That's important. If one of them takes over, they'll suppress the other. Likewise, there are factions and cliques within both of those factions that will suppress each other also; sometimes not even for political but personal reasons. You would be extremely lucky to get a board owner who does not pursue their own vendettas and agendas.
Mason Gutierrez
Fucking, THIS!
Brody Powell
Everyone thinks they're too smart to fall for advertising, yet somehow it's still effective enough that a half-trillion dollars worldwide is spent on it each year.
If you've *ever* chosen to buy a name-brand *anything* instead of a lesser-known alternative, chances are it was at least partly because of marketing and its effect on your perception of the brand.
Colton Gomez

Hunter Cox
>so people turn against Hiroshimoot
Why would I turn on him? I seriously doubt he gives a lying fuck about me or the options of the retards on /b or where /k sticks their guns. He said publicly he finds the 4chins phenomena interesting. He allows free speech. Good enough for me..
