This article reads like it was written by a 9th grader. Google is trying to discourage any racially biased media from their platform (YES black power and white power are equally racist). Here’s a little trick. If you see a phrase with the word “black” in it, in your mind substitute it for “white”. If the new phrase sounds racist to you, it means it was racist before you substituted as well, and the fact that you didn’t think so means you have racial bias that you aren’t even questioning. Is the whole world insane? Logic is not that difficult. Seriously, we let the dumbest stuff divide us as a species.
- danso 6y agoSo you agree that Google removing divisive categories is better for them and their users – but you're angry that people did the work and found that this policy is unevenly applied? Why is it not worth asking why "Muslim" was blacklisted but not "Christian", "Jewish", or "Buddhist"? > The religious descriptions “Jewish,” “Christian,” and “Buddhist” were also blocked as standalone words. But when we combined them with the word “fashion,” only “Muslim fashion,” one of the terms suggested by advocates, was blocked. “Jewish fashion,” “Christian fashion,” and “Buddhist fashion” were not blocked for advertising when we conducted our study, showing the blanket ban on “Muslim” in combination with any other word did not extend to other religions.
- suifbwish 6y agoYou should ask the AI why it decided those terms were worse than others
- noxer 6y agoThis is how it should work. But reality is different. Have a look at Wikipedia Black pride/White pride for example. One is celebrating culture the other is racist/white supremacist slogan.
