EU plans aggressive censorship

samedi 15 septembre 2018 à 02:00

The EU plans aggressive censorship rules for "terrorist" postings.

Platforms that can't afford to hire people to work 24 hours a day to carry out deletions would be wiped out immediately. And if they are big enough to pay for that, they still won't be able to develop automated filters.

The automated filters can't really understand what is "terrorist" and what isn't, so they will be designed to err on the side of caution and delete lots of other publications.

Well, if you delete everything, at least you can be sure you deleted everything that is "terrorist".
