Google Tells Army of 'Quality Raters' To Flag Holocaust Denial (theguardian.com)
Google is using a 10,000-strong army of independent contractors to flag "offensive or upsetting" content, in order to ensure that queries like "did the Holocaust happen" don't push users to misinformation, propaganda and hate speech. From a report on The Guardian: The review of search terms is being done by the company's "quality raters", a little-known corps of worldwide contractors that Google uses to assess the quality of its systems. The raters are given searches based on real queries to conduct, and are asked to score the results on whether they meet the needs of users. These contractors, introduced to the company's review process in 2013, work from a huge manual describing every potential problem they could find with a given search query: whether or not it meets the user's expectations, whether the result offered is low or high quality, and whether it's spam, porn or illegal. In a new update to the rating system, rolled out on Tuesday, Google introduced another flag raters could use: the "upsetting-offensive" mark.
Actually, until I saw this video, I was firmly in the camp of believing that it had happened more or less exactly as depicted. Turns out it's a grand illusion, might explain why control of media is important, now that darn pesky internet is putting out information in an uncontrolled manner, how annoying!
Funny that you should think I'd want to be part of a group such as Stormfront as I am probably the first person they'd want to hang from a sturdy tree branch. Yeah, I'm a minority, educated, thoughtful, compassionate, not exactly the soldier they're looking for I'm guessing. I have actually never been to that website, not even by accident.
What I do know though is that I don't like the way Zionist Jews think or behave and how they use "teh holocaust" to hammer any opposition into oblivion. They also use it as cover for their odious, inhumane, and cruel oppression of Palestinians. So yeah, I'm not with all the "Jews are God's Chosen People" bullshit that the oblivious Christian Right and Alt-Right espouses.
BTW, I like all your ad-hominem attacks. Care to present a cogent argument instead?
Only I can judge you.
The old sign claimed 6 Million, now it claims 1 Million, that is a significant change. I don't believe that number comes from the Germans, because there was no record of mass killings because they didn't happen. If it had, it would have been recorded in the Germans' meticulous record keeping systems.
Building factories for killing people would have been the most monumentally absurd thing to do, it is so absurd that if it were any less absurd it wouldn't be believable, right? People died in the camps because there was no money to feed them with near the end of the war, that was sad and terrible but not the way the camps were run for most of their operation.
I don't need to convince you, you are free to shut your eyes tight, close your ears and continue to live in your tragic fantasy.
Only I can judge you.
