It was never removed from the code. You seem to think it was, and that the media attention made them add it back. Try to find a snapshot of the code that does not include it (I can only find snapshots with it, so that won't suffice as

The data is correct and a-biased. If you ask 100 people around you, they are, on average, more likely to have had a negative burrito experience, than a negative pasta experience. The learning algorithms are crude and dumb. They will simply

To me it seems all the work of the same spammer(s). In such a case, do some manual intelligence and wrap it up. It won't scale to all forms of spam, but if a simple regex can uncover 250k+ results in 10 minutes, a manual spam fighter c
