if the concern is abuse, i wouldn’t give it to gov
- HWR_14 5y agoRight, because it's better to trust that analysis to FaceBook. Why they could even pop-up something suggesting you seek help.
- shane_b 5y agoi assume this is sarcasm which is unhelpful. the original claim was to trust no one. my comment was the government should also not be trusted. people put on such a front on social i wouldn’t trust any analysis. especially not health related
- HWR_14 5y agoIf that was your original intent, you phrased it really badly. You didn't say "trust no one". People were asking what to do with it, and you said "i wouldn’t give it to gov". That isn't "this is dangerous and shouldn't exist".
- shane_b 5y ago> I'd say very little good can come from this. > if the concern is abuse not my intent, OP. the comment i replied to suggested gov instead. i made a comment about gov there was as much reason to assume what i meant as much as what you assumed
- HWR_14 5y agoI see what you're saying now. Sorry to misinterpret you.
- criddell 5y agoThe concern is directing public resources in ways that are most effective. I'm thinking about populations and not individuals.
- shane_b 5y agoi like your idea of improving effectiveness population level data of social media is vulnerable to abuse by gov. social media is a poor input and gov will exploit ambiguity to their benefit.
