>Now Google is zeroing in on the problem. On Thursday, the company publicly released an artificial intelligence tool, called Perspective, that scans online content and rates how “toxic” it is based on ratings by thousands of people.
all you have to do is use words in different context to break this. who wants to use google services as racial slurs?
Gabriel Parker
Did they get inspiration from South Park?
Aiden Russell
the creators said it was getting harder to satirize modern life.
Nathaniel Brooks
>it is based on ratings by thousands of subpeople, aka. SJWs This is exactly why my next phone is going to be GNU/Linux based. Fuck google.
Henry Murphy
What phone do you have in mind, user?
Brody Myers
and that's it, I'm using bing instead.
Bentley Carter
either good old nokia n900, neo900 or n9
Henry Wright
If I own a company, why do you think I'm obligated to pay bandwidth and storage costs for your comments? Why do you think people are obligated to provide you a platform with which to shitpost?
Aaron Flores
I, for one, am excited. Maybe Sup Forums will attract more female users if sexist comments are no longer tolerated.
Charles Thompson
I for one am excited as well. Maybe those female users will appreciate more innuendos. Now, we just need a way to find out if a user is female. Hard to be fully user if we can find out gender.
Lucas Brown
Sup Forums is 50/50 female/male. Prove me wrong.
Zachary Morgan
This is how the CIA wants to destroy us
Thomas Peterson
Are you a female? Could you tell me what you smell like?
Mason Cook
there are too many trannies on this site
Cooper Adams
So "toxic" means anything the media doesn't like right?
Blake Nguyen
Most likely.
Aaron Harris
Salty milk with coins.
Caleb Lopez
Yep, bunch of thin-skinned special snowflakes that can't handle the bantz.
Jason Lee
>Nearly half of U.S. Internet users say they have experienced such intimidation; a third say they have resisted posting something online out of fear, according to the nonprofit Data and Society Research Institute. Women, particularly young women and women of color, are disproportionately targeted.
How would 'bullies' know that the other person is a woman or a black woman over the Internet? Makes no sense. I think that it's because women and blacks are less intelligent, and therefore more prone to saying stupid shit.
Sebastian Diaz
with billions of websites im sure you can find somewhere else to shitpost
people who change things like this really get hit hard by the not relevant bug and no one remembers them in a year
Dominic King
Literally the Alt Right
these nu male betas cant stand anything that isnt hugbox approved.
Carson Torres
Good Google, fight with trolls, like Thor did!
Jose White
>perspective scans Sup Forums for toxicity >out of memory error, returns 110% toxicity value Can't wait to see what ratings this retarded AI will return.
Parker Williams
because these are the buzzwords they know they need, in order to pass this censorship. it makes plenty sense if you say blacks and women are victims, you get your news spread further!
then they can sell this tool to the saudis, and be the cause of a vicious, ruthless, savage, dangerous, rounding of dissident citizens who will quickly be executed for shitposts against the state.
Julian Perez
whaaat? this past year has given them more material then ever before. fucking sjw cucks, they can't even realize the hilarity all around them.
Jackson Johnson
>CIA lol cia not >asians the cia is already deeply in power, unless trump has them pissing their corrupt boots, i'm blaming this on the chinese.
the chinese are the ones committing genocide even today, so they'd love a means to further censor their internet. but with this, they can use their "privately" owned companies and their respective web pages to get away with further censoring the internet.
Parker Adams
Sup Forums is 100% cute anime girls. I don't need evidence, I have imagination~
Jacob Morris
Sup Forums is 50/50 female(male)/male*
Tyler Williams
/thread there are no girls on teh internetz
Liam Roberts
u know what ai means don't you?
David Cox
Mark my words:
g00gl has learned from Tai AI and wants to "sanitize" the internet. And this will eventually be the end of free speech as we know it.

Where were you when America died?
Cooper Morales
free speech died when >hate speech >anti holololcaust laws were put into effect.
Charles Ross
In Europe, which has been dead for a while now.
Levi Gomez
Are you retarded?
They're saying that the satire they usually create is becoming a reality, hence they can't write episodes because it'd just be a history lesson.
Xavier Ramirez
Sup Forums had the same idea a long time ago, using "google" everywhere instead of "nigger"
John Watson
It was a psy op by Google to get them into censoring themselves while at the same time promoting their services for free. They all fell for it like retards.
Alexander Thompson
>They're saying that the satire they usually create is becoming a reality, hence they can't write episodes because it'd just be a history lesson. have you never seen their episodes? it's always about current trends, and the ones that aren't are about future trends. (go watch the great wall episode, it's hilarious, and almost as if they came from 2016 to create the episode it hits the nail on the coffin)
Owen Martin
>Lennart wtf i hate systemd now
Joseph Hernandez
Free speech died long before Holocaust denial laws were in place. Countries that have Holocaust denial laws never had a strong tradition of free speech.
Oliver Roberts
that's not true tho
Adrian Ross
Why does this just sound like censorship
Jayden Gonzalez
>create a huge website full of trolls >start working for a corporation that fights against trolls brilliant
Nathaniel White
>yfw SJW propaganda gets rated as toxic
John Thomas
THISS, they even create "raids" against other websites, which this software is built specifically for fighting. so similar to anti virus programs..
>we don't need that, who would create a virus to destroy my hardware? >oh the same assholes who are trying to sell the anti malware programs are the same ones spreading the malware to begin with history plz, stop repeating yourself, i dnt want thousands of years of slavery.
Nathaniel Jones
So, there is some guy at Google feeding the AI with words and phrases like nigger, faggot, 1488 heil hitler, jews did this, gas the kikes, hitler was right, bush did 9/11, etc?
Jacob Clark
I'm assuming "thousands of people" are getting fed random phrases it picks up online and rate their "toxicity" from 1 to 10 or some shit. Then when it has enough ratings it starts to sort this shit out itself.
Jose Jackson
wow you think google would hire someone capable of such dirty tricks.
Brayden Murphy
ofc they wait to make this shit just on the eve of new amd crap being released and spammed everywhere, so it can quietly float under the radar. until bam, you're all fucked.
Landon Evans
I agree.
John Roberts
Kek'd
Daniel Brooks
Yeah it is. Most European countries never had free speech in the first place.
Wyatt Hall
Goddamnit
Logan Reyes
I know you're trolling, but I for one am excited because hopefully this new feature will help keep normalfags away from this site.
Ethan Powell
All this type of blatantly anti-right wing censorship in mainstream social media under the guise of "anti-trolling" will do is cause anyone affected by their shadowbanning, or anyone who just hates the idea of their data being tracked and analyzed for its political correctness quotient, to just leave and create their own alternative places for communication. And those places, for the very reason of their founding, will only serve to incubate and amplify hatred for the new controlled mainstream. All they're doing is instigating and galvanizing their opposition, and ensuring the tolerance gatekeepers will be even more surprised when the hordes they banished from their echo chamber come back angrier and more numerous than ever.
Ethan Collins
Its too late though. You're already here.
Adrian Hughes
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU
Anthony Flores
If a company is large enough that could be classified under public domain due to the size of the forum. Freedom of speech is a desired moral principle regardless of 1st amendment protection.
Nolan Flores
>half of us Internet users how can they say that? I'm pretty sure this entire site has not heard of the poll they did with the entire us Internet population.
Owen Long
It is well established that Munroe has no understanding of Enlightenment thought. Free speech is the idea that you should hear people out instead of shutting them up. "Toxic speech" and "hate speech" are both very vague terms, under which lots of things might fall. Furthermore, by doing this Google will be able to access all of the user data of major websites. All of this is perfectly within their rights, of course, but then so would the executives firing everyone.
Noah Mitchell
What a bunch of faggots. If only there were some way to tell them what faggots they were being...
Austin Johnson
>Women, particularly young women and women of color, are disproportionately targeted. D R O P P E D .
Eli Sullivan
This, companies like google and facebook got as large as they did by presenting themselves as a free highway for communication, and now that they're approaching a monopoly on online communication, they're moving ever closer to cracking down on anything they don't like. Just because they technically have the right to do so doesn't change the fact that you should be concerned that the companies that control most of our avenues of modern communication are starting to filter what voices are and aren't allowed to be heard. Randall is a fucking SJW shill and the "nerd community" that he claims to represent should have no respect left for his gay stick figure comic.
Jackson Morris
No, the CIA is trying to psychologically torment us into submission with hate speech. During the bush era they accused everyone of being a terrorist accusations and now it's bigotry accusations because far left is cool.
Isaiah Miller
I've noticed Google won't spell check racial slurs. Or even suggest any word close to it. Is Google already doing this?
Ayden James
This is a fantastic idea, I hope they implement this so that less people will come here. If Sup Forums is a s "toxic" as possible then regular people will avoid it.
Levi Bailey
And if it's banned by google, redditors and twitter normalfags won't come here either because this is the epic meme shitposting website.
Oliver Lopez
If I don't use Google why should I care?
Thomas Brown
So soon enough I'm going to get banned from Internet same way I got banned from League of Legends because I'm unhappy with the retardation of your average user? Is Google trying to find me a new hobby?
Cooper Lopez
The days of meme spouting are over. The influx of new users killed that. The board culture of each board is just barely there anymore. If Sup Forums stops showing up in search results do to being to "toxic" there will be less users who have no idea what board culture is. This will allow the ones who are already here to either adapt to the board or to leave due to the "toxic" rating.
TLDR; I miss 2007 Sup Forums.
Levi Lopez
There used to be a central identity, but thanks to reddit everyone thinks each board is separate from each other and there needs to be a million niche boards.
Jackson Hughes
Google is the new Yahoo
Michael Hall
There was an overall culture and feeling of unity. Each board still had it's own subculture though. The feeling of unity went first and board culture is nearly gone. It's like watching your childhood friend being raped and there's nothing you can do about it. They say NTR is the thinking man's fetish but I want off this ride.
Josiah Mitchell
So leave. Duh.
Alexander Perez
le old fag is mad. :)
Camden Price
I always used to laugh at "You're here forever." It was just another silly meme. I've been here for twelve years now and realize that with every passing year that silly meme became true. There is no leaving. There is no moving on. You are here forever.
Chase Scott
> Furthermore, by doing this Google will be able to access all of the user data of major websites. I'm surprised you're the only one in the thread to mention this. Also see 'Earlier this month, Twitter — which has developed a reputation as a playground for abuse — launched new tools to cut on trolling. The company said it would begin retaining more user data as part of an effort to prevent people who have harassed other people from deleting their accounts and then reemerging under a new username. It also said it was tweaking its algorithms to flag certain tweets as “potentially abusive or low-quality.”' This is Google and friends trying to make a grab at more data than ever before under a guise they know their SJW userbase will not only tolerate, but celebrate. Now they don't have to (openly) limit themselves to data that plausibly has optimization potential, they can keep whatever data is remotely related to collecting statistics on trolls and keeping them off the internet (profile data on perspective-enabled forums? real name and address data so John Trollington can be kept off twitter? Maybe even places of employment, you know, so we can know what fields are the most "toxic"?)
Chase Collins
>It's like watching your childhood friend being raped and there's nothing you can do about it. So basically the same as living in Europe/the West? (Honestly, the parallels between the fall of Europe and the fall of Sup Forums are eerily similar. Hordes of newcomers drown out the pre-existing culture, and then them and their trendy enablers openly mock anyone who holds onto it. Immigration kills.)
Leo Martin
>under public domain That's not what public domain means, holy shit you're retarded
Luis Diaz
Do the people at Google know a curry nigger is running their company?
Jason Hall
Once you become a public commons you are obligated to allow free speech on your platform. Especially if you're a corporation enjoying legal protection from individual liability. Plus the DMCA only gives safe harbor to neutral platforms in the US. If you curate content you lose your legal shield for copyright violations.
Parker Lee
sounds more like asian propaganda to me tbqh. cia has so much money and bully power already
Zachary Mitchell
>bases itself on rating by "thousands of people" >applies will of thousands upon millions so like an oligarchy for comment sections? at what point "black" becomes offensive? could "black nigger" be more or less offensive than "white nigger" or "yellow nigger" or "purple nigger"? at what point does "toxicity" becomes more offensive than "nigger"?

Michael Hernandez

Joshua Miller
>Internet users say they have experienced such intimidation; a third say they have resisted posting something online out of fear, I don't know what's worse. People who think they've been targeted. Or those that think they should be protected from inane comments. >experienced such intimidation So they questioned a bunch of high schoolers for this?That sort of thing 'rarely' happens outside of that demographic. And when it's not that, it's because of ghetto problems. Becky lemme smash. Either case, they've never been truly targeted by the internet and need to drink a glass of concrete and harden the fuck up. Example on the extreme end would be the pool's closed incidents. >a third say they have resisted posting something online out of fear This has become a ever persistent problem. Not because of backlash, but not speaking up only gives favor to the problem you're trying to address. Fuck, sometimes you cant even toss out a obvious response to something without it becoming an issue these days. Pic related
That should have been obvious it was coming. but got triggered by it anyways. Even without his name it would have been said. Would people be so enraged by what they see on the net if we were all Anonymous? It's what keeps me here. I don't have to stress about stepping on toes. Because it doesn't matter. There's no 'relationship' building here in order to be heard. You say something abhorrent one thread and that's where it ends. You can go on without becoming a pariah. Sure you can still hurt feelings with what you do. But the tired response of 'you're no better' as a defense can't exist. They have to face the reality of their own problem. With named media it's always a popularity contest. Who can suck the most dick at once without getting cum in their hair. It just all seems so fake, and plastic.
Jeremiah Jenkins
no, john, you're the racist
Alexander Long
you post on the internet? that's toxic. individual opinions are worthless. only pre approved and AI messages will be all you can see, as if having that shit for articles (which are really just ads majority of the time anyway) wasn't enough.

Michael Scott
2007 was the last great year so it makes sense actually, also 2005 was one of the best years so there is nothing wrong with stating that.
Ryan Kelly
I think it's a cool idea, not to mess up the algorithms for Big Gender-Neutral Sibling, but if you could actually convince SJWs that "google" is a racial slur for black people. It would work even better if you came up with some semi-plausible explanation for it (i.e. it's what teh evil elitist computer nerds call black people because they have to google all their computer problems instead of gitting gud). Imagine BLM and mainstream news websites making a big fuss that the name of the internet's biggest search engine is the same as a racial slur. With how much the nu-execs in charge of Google want the approval of the SJW crowd, maybe Google would even change their name and two-decade old brand to avoid triggering and oppressing People of Color. It's a huge long-shot, but there was a coffee chain in my state that had to change their name because Mexicans and college students started complaining that their name was a racial slur ("Beaner's", as in coffee beans, but god forbid people in a northern state not knowing every slur for illegals).
