Time to make an app which would analyze your social media presence and for any country would show what laws you have violated and what punishment is waiting you where. Premium version will be showing that "cost" before you're to post something.
- l33t2328 5y agoThat seems really hard. How would you identify a joke/insult vs a neutral post vs praise?
- asadlionpk 5y agoa bit of sentiment analysis and banned keywords.
- l33t2328 5y agoMmm, seems troublesome to detect sarcasm, context, etc. When the setting is legal, these such errors are unacceptable.
- wsinks 5y agoAt this point I'd probably just pay a 'sentiment analysis' company that I found off google that's been doing all this stuff for ~10 years. Lots of correlation models that need to be updated as people learn what gets logged as certain sentiment and then they change their language to not be part of that. Then I realized you might be asking about "how do you identify a sarcastic comment that looks like praise?" ..and it seems there's no easy answer to that. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053951720972735 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053951720972735 https://wpmu.mah.se/nmict162group7/?p=180 https://wpmu.mah.se/nmict162group7/?p=180 So I guess after all this, I've gone from my initial sarcastic remark (the top of this post) to 10 mins later scratching my head and thinking that this business idea is more difficult that going back to our government and demanding more change.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoThe solution is not an app, but to avoid travel to these countries in their entirety.
- devoutsalsa 5y agoI hate to break it to you, but if a country want to lock you up, they will find a way to do it. I’m an American & I’m more afraid of being railroaded by the USA justice system than any of the 32 other countries I’ve visited, including several countries in the Middle East.
- josephcsible 5y agoI think GP's point is that the UAE's government can't lock you up while you're in the USA.
- curiousgal 5y agoBut the USA can lock you up anywhere in the world :p

- sundvor 5y agoWhat if you book a flight say between Australia and Europe. After swapping planes in Hong Kong, on the way to Germany there's an in flight emergency and the plane lands in Dubai. And you had been previously critical of the regime. Now what?
- toomuchtodo 5y agoI admit that problem space expands if you are an exuberant social media user who travels frequently and transits a variety of jurisdictions and airspace. Realistically, you're screwed if you said the wrong thing on social and someplace you're traveling through wants to grab you (and your country of citizenship doesn't want to expend the effort to repatriate you from the hands of an authoritarian regime). My personal risk tolerance is that which I don’t transit the Middle East, ever, when traveling internationally, and I have no social media usage or presence.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoMore fundamentally, why do people feel the need to Tweet or share content publicly on social media?
- quantified 5y agoOr even share their opinions on other people’s posts in a news aggregation site? ;-)
- Imnimo 5y agoThis is equally an app that allows those countries to search people's social media presence to find reasons to arrest them! :P
- quantified 5y agoI’m sure a leaderboard would emerge in it. Have you left any laws un-broken? Am I looking at fewer lashes than any of my friends?
