I’m particularly worried about the requirement that posts with the “same essential meaning” be detected. Should this become precedent, must every startup now run Content ID systems... based on NLP and word embeddings? Can a company be held liable for not setting the threshold correctly and allowing even the slightest negative sentiment about a subject through? Can a politician sue to have all references to a certain cartoon bear be removed on the grounds that the references’ very existence is offensive? Can HN be sued for failing to detect my oblique reference above? This is a dangerously slippery slope.
