In particle physics we usually use these terms which will be at any proposal. This is an interesting textbook definition of false positives when you have list that is using too common words.
- Minimum "Biased" data
- "Discrimination" or "Discriminatory" variables
- Phase space "excluded"
- "Inclusion" of data/variable/anything
- "inequality" -> wow bell's inequality and all this theory work about inequalities will be triggered
These are just example that came into my mind from quick thought and skimming. I'm pretty sure that this will have much worst false positive rate. I would really be surprised if the vast majority if not all of projects get flagged. I'm also sure that 100% of statistics work or project heavily reliant on statistics (probably everything else too) will be flagged.

- anotherhue 2y agoDoes that fall under global warming denial?

- whatshisface 2y agoWhere is the government going to find all these censors with working minds? No American would consent to doing that unless their zeal had blinded them from something much more important than the compliance of a physics paper.
- sterlind 2y agoI'm sure DOGE could provision an LLM to censor at scale. Unthinkingly obedient language models enforcing dictates is an authoritarian's wet dream.

- badRNG 2y ago> Reading comprehension is shocking, not just in you but most people here. The post just said "can cause a grant to be pulled". That's entirely consistent with this list being a screening filter and somebody will look at what the grant/application is actually for. Both the post and the comment you are replying to used the term "flagged". Best I can tell, they aren't claiming what you seem to think they are claiming.
- foxglacier 2y agoThat's true. I was really generally replying to other comments but put it on this one because it was quite specific. You're quite right, an internal flag isn't a ban.

- vkou 2y agoTheir reading comprehension is just fine. The whole point of directives like this is the arbitrary nature by which they can be enforced. When everything can be flagged for review by a political commissar... In the last century, neither fascists or stalinists had any issue with banning 'Jewish' science, despite it having absolutely nothing to do with race. Because their goal was getting rid of the enemies of the administration.
