Ask HN: Could Auto Correct prevent killers from gaining infamy from their deeds?
All we need to do is add the monster's name to a dictionary and have social media platforms change the name to "The monster that..." sort of a white/black list of bad people that commit despicable acts. Maybe?
- philpem 8y agoI like the idea, certainly. The trick is going to be getting news organisations to adopt it.
- nilskidoo 8y agoAs long as culture treats celebrities and other self-serving persons like heroes, I think not. It's like taking down Confederate monuments. Obviously they inspire the wrong people, but ideally many more can be reminded to learn from the mistakes of history. Sweeping everything bad under the rug just makes a rug begging to be tripped over.
