Feds Creating Database to Track Hate Speech on Twitter

Well, obama tried to make the IRS do it, but they got busted.

 

If at first you don't succeed...

I noticed that the #BOWDOWN MSM is doing its best to keep the news of this "progressive" political surveillance program shoved down the memory hole...


.

 

if they are talking about taking the gov over by force, they yes, they would be included in the collection, but obviously it takes more then just hate speech to get arrested and charged with a crime

 

I could think of much better things to spend a million bucks on.

Then again, I am a realist interested in turning the country around economically.

 

if your job is at stake by what you say of Facebook, you probably should not be saying it

 

it would stop if we made it a mandatory 5 year felony to say abuse the patriot act or what not (regardless if your boss told you to do it or not, have mandatory reporting of abuses, or you too also get a felony for not reporting)

every leg of government is bipartisan, you would not get away with such abuse

 

RRRROOOOOFFFFFLLLLLL!!!!!!! Really??????

 

Monitoring activity to perhaps prevent attacks by hate groups.

 

Seriously? What country have you been living in?

Do you not see what is going on with the IRS scandal? Hard drives being lost (scratched but lost sounds less incriminating), emails being lost (but not really lost, just too much time to look up), simultaneous hard drive crashes from everyone who was involved with the scandal, cell phones containing the 'lost emails' being destroyed with no explanation. Lies, deceit.

This is the US government we are talking about here. There is nothing bipartisan about it.

No. Whoever is in power will abuse the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of it. Doesn't matter which party.

 

Define hate groups with a reference to LAW...

 

No, they are monitoring to get a feel for how much the public is on to their soft coup they are waging.

 

exactly, because libs are chomping at the bit to label the Tea party a hate group.


Remember the Chic-fil-a fiasco

"CFA donates to hate groups" turns out those "hate groups" were Fellowship of Christian Athletes/Students because #shockingly, they support traditional marriage. When those in charge can subjectively label whatever group they politically don't agree with a "hate-group" or label any speech they don't like a hate-speech... you run into problems


That's the problem with such vague terms like "spreading misinformation" or "hate-speech" is it's so subjective and based entirely on who is sitting in charge

 

Its fine to me, hate speech can lead to crimes so it can lead to heading off crimes with maybe an investigation with psychological help.

 

Will Sharpton have his own category? Of course not, hating white males is allowed under the UCPC (Universal Code of Poitical Correctness).

 

I hate speeches too...especially long ones.

 

That was COMPLETELY out of line. The original thread title BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU ON TWITTER was perfectly acceptable.
.

 

Who defines what is hate and what is just "free speech"? If someone speaks out against the policies of a sitting President, could that become "hate speak". If someone use a euphemism, could someone else determine that it is "hateful"? Today it is Twitter....how about tomorrow? Microphones in your house....in your bedrooms....in your car....on your person?

 

What was the title?

It seems like they are being changed more often lately. Seems a bit of overkill of micromanagement.

 

It's a "moderator" taking the liberty of abusing his position is what it is.

The original title was "Big Brother Is Watching You on Twitter". Can you believe THAT got altered?

Like I said, COMPLETELY out of line. What's passing as "moderation" around here isn't moderation at all. It's agenda-driven partisan censorship, plain and simple.

 

I have an idea be careful on what sites you go on and what you post, there are alternatives one can use like meet people in person or mail out with Snail Mail various papers and publications like newsletters to pass on hate speech.

If you use social media sites then shut up on the bad stuff.

 

I agree with you...a bit over the top. I guess we have our own Big Brother.

 

So, your solution is to be covert. Maybe create our own "secret code"? Seems to me that something like that was done once before centuries ago. I think something called a "Constitution" was created so that people would not have to do that.

 

Evidently, we DO have our own Big Brother.

And I'll probably get cited and/or banned for objecting to it.

 

Did you read the article I posted in the OP? Perhaps, you should.

Tracking terrorists has nothing to do with this program. It's purpose is purely political.

 

I don't get how the concept of 'hate speech' not having a legal definition doesn't get everyone's panties in a knot... WTF does that even mean? Yet some are willing to allow the government to monitor this? Careful what you wish for....
