I understand that the blacklist is probably just an example of things to hide, but it's interesting to note that if the filter was effective, it would block literally any and all content, including information criticizing and fighting against the nefarious media manipulation highlighted in this repo, but also the repo itself.
(note: this comment has a strong political bias, may reduce your lifespan, and the note you're reading might be considered "meme" content)
edit: Okay maybe it's not that interesting and that's the exact point the project was trying to make by showing censorship of Assange's tweets and I feel stupid.
- kelseyfrog 3y agoWhy wouldn't they just predict confidences and then set a threshold?
- cafeoh 3y agoA more political piece of media isn't necessarily less honest or more manipulative. Similarly, a very supposedly "neutral, both-sides" opinion can be very manipulative. The best thing you might be able to do is filter out specific hand-picked subjects (like other commenters said QAnon or specific conspiracies), but I doubt you need more than basic keyword matching for that. Anything further feels to me like you're just tightening an echo-chamber.
