It's not the exact same argument because stop and frisk is not automated.
- saurik 9y agoIf isn't the same process being defended, but I clearlt didn't claim that: the argument used to defend the different processes, however, is the same. This "put on your big boy pants" bullshit is saying that people should accept any incidental harassment because false positives are to be tolerated and no system is perfect, so we may as well just use this one. If the false positives of a system discriminate against a subset of people--as absolutely happens with these filters, which end up blocking people from talking about the daily harassment they experience or even using the names of events they are attending without automated processes flagging their posts--then that is NOT OK. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/for-facebook-erasing-hate-speech-proves-a-daunting-challenge/2017/07/31/922d9bc6-6e3b-11e7-9c15-177740635e83_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/for-facebook... https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/07/facebook-censoring-lesbians-using-word-dyke-posts/ https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/07/facebook-censoring-lesbi...
