Considering the rate of change in this field, what would be beneficial to learn for people who don't actually get to use machine learning in their day to day job? I'd love to dive in and learn more about machine learning but I don

I agree with that. We need some way of differentiating between private sites and sites that be considered part of the public forum.

The time of centralized, closed online platforms is quickly coming to a close.

"Progressive" is marketing term backed by a shaky ideology that has been totally twisted to serve the powerful. Eric Holder for example was hired for big money by Uber to push the narrative that background checks for Uber drivers

You can't really "make your own platform" though. Ultimately the ISPs could shut down access to any website they don't think their customers should have access to. The only recourse would be for the censored to somehow c

I think eroding free speech rights, especially in a time of increasing political extremism, will only make such tragedies more possible, not less. How long until extremists in power figure out a way to use the newly acceptable restrictions

That wasn't the point of my comment. Yes 1A only applies to government censorship, however the SC clearly view access to the internet and social media as necessary for full exercise of 1A rights. It's now on the legislature to act

It isn't wire-tapping if they block you from accessing the wire to begin with. Forcing the phone companies to carry your speech over their wires is compelling speech across their property which should be against their 1A rights if yo

> A website ban isn't even remotely the same thing as a legal sanction. The Supreme Court seemed to have very different take (Packingham v. North Carolina): "Social media allows users to gain access to information and communica

What makes them private? They're operated on the phone company's lines and by talking on their lines you're compelling them to carry certain speech. The logic that states private communication carriers have an unlimited right

How is this freedom attributable in any direct way to restrictions on "hate speech"?

Google is supposedly a "common carrier". Though I'm not sure how they're hanging onto that legal title.

How is Germany more free and Democratic? Aren't they purposefully less free because of anti-Nazi laws?

For better or worse foreign and domestic terrorist speech is treated separately. If ISIS was a domestic terrorist organization afaik they would have 1A rights.

Experience seems to indicate the opposite I think. The danger of niche mobs and/or terrorism is very real and scary, but losing our freedoms in order to address these perceived dangers is always far worse. For all the fear the "al

I find it far fetched that all of this is down to a massive conspiracy. Certainly there are actors that do this but they seem to just be amplifying by some small amount preexisting trends.

CAPTCHAs are easily gamed too. Just throw whatever CAPTCHA you're trying to solve on a porn website and once someone fills it out simply have the bot copy over the response. This has been done for some time now.

IIRC conservatives don't have a great track record of following through with this.

Brilliant. Twitter gets let off the hook by appearing to be "doing something" and people who charge for followers get a revenue boost by this new form of planned obsolescence. Twitter users get screwed by either getting caught up

If society devolves into a tit-for-tat game of disenfranchising the "other team" we're in for a lot of trouble. And yes that includes shutting down your opponents on "private" platforms.

Freedom is a double edge sword. Some people use their freedom to elevate themselves, others are free to fail. In the West we treat an disinclination to handle freedom responsibly as either a moral failing (the right) or reject the possibili

I don't think we should lose sight of the fact that many human users are being caught up these "purges". I lost my twitter account because they determined I was a "bot" somehow. I didn't want to give them my ph

I'm thinking that a lot of this perceived difference is that taking a political stance is much more natural on social media than previously in real life. Before you would have to care enough to find some place to set your soap box or b

I am still hopeful that the hand wringing about social media is overblown. Flat earthers for example I believe are in two camps: the genuine loonies that have always been with us in small numbers and the large number of people who just want

I doubt this would help. Judging by my Facebook feed Americans are perfectly capable of vicious, polarized discourse without foreign influence. In fact this may backfire as it would allow the hateful in society to have more of a right to pr

I'm curious what people would propose we do about this? What if it turns out that doctors of the same ethnic group treat their co-ethnics better, even if it isn't conscious? I fear the conclusion people will draw is just a new for
