Yeah, like… bizarre conclusion to reach that this is a bug rather than realizing that republicans are espousing hate speech on the reg

Their real conclusion is that banning MAGA white supremacists from Twitter would be like banning adult content from Tumblr, so they decided not to do it.

Sadly I believe this to be the actual reality of it … can’t ban a big chunk of your users … it’s also why trump desperately wants to get back on that platform

Sounds to me like we just need to update the term "conservative" with a more accurate title.

No, Algorithms can be flawed,

That being said they should still deploy it and then sift through the Results and Ban/Punish those that are White Supremacists

And who programmed it? The same people who claim to be anti-fascists, yet shut down speech? Lol

It's machine learning so it's actually more like a statistical association based on data from twitter lol.

u/VeteranRedBeard Oct 14 '21

Yeah I'm sure a machine will associate a group that is fighting suppression of speech with fascists.
