Federal Government Spending $1 Million Creating Database To Track “Hate Speech” On Twitter
Washington Free Beacon
The federal government is spending nearly $1 million to create an online database that will track “misinformation” and hate speech on Twitter.
The National Science Foundation is financing the creation of a web service that will monitor “suspicious memes” and what it considers “false and misleading ideas,” with a major focus on political activity online.
The “Truthy” database, created by researchers at Indiana University, is designed to “detect political smears, astroturfing, misinformation, and other social pollution.”
The university has received $919,917 so far for the project.
“The project stands to benefit both the research community and the public significantly,” the grant states. “Our data will be made available via [application programming interfaces] APIs and include information on meme propagation networks, statistical data, and relevant user and content features.”
Wild Thing’s comment.…………..
Typical of the left bigger and bigger government in our lives.
When a man can have his private property taken from him by a US Court and sold to another because of “offensive” words he said in the privacy of his own home, then we’re no longer the land of the free. @ Owner of the LA Clippers.
After Barackshevik comes back from his European trip he will sign executive action to legalize 5 MILLION illegals then wait for his Chicago brothers and sisters to sound off against Dr. ZhiCago!
I say again;
KEEP BUYING AMMO
and gold, silver, survival food.
