Anonymous Coward User ID: 76445703 Ireland 08/08/2018 09:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I bought a domain a while back that could be used to start documenting instances of internet censorship. Quoting: Boaty The idea is anyone could anonymously submit evidence of censorship they experience or witness. Then others could anonymously 'upvote' to corroborate that the censorship indeed occurred. If it became popular enough, over time statistics about which platforms censored what and who could be tabulated. Perhaps enough to prove there is a deliberate attempt to censor conservatives, but it would be open to all voices conservative or not. What do you guys think? Is it worth my time and effort to build it? I'm here but it's a lot to take in for me anyway.. Can I think about it? or is a kneejerk you are looking for. |

Boaty (OP) User ID: 75138722 United States 08/08/2018 09:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Definately build it. But first, weren't you "BoatyMcBoatface"? I'd go back-classic avatar, dude (the story behind it was good too). Quoting: WEDGE5th Yes, but there's also a good story behind why I changed it. It's for mostly personal reasons. If you're interested, PM me and I'll share it. ```````````````` ````__/\__`````` ~~~\____/~~~~ .~~..~~~....~~~ ~..~~~....~~~~ Thoughts do not come from you nor God; you do not create thoughts; you are not your thoughts; every thought is a lie. - 2 Corinthians 10:5 - [link to www.biblegateway.com (secure)] |

Reminds me of those web sites that keep track of what promises Trump has kept so far in his 1st term, and which ones he hasn't completed yet. Quoting: Coppercoal But this would be a bit more crowd sourced... But as long as there is a decent gate keeper to make sure exaggerations are not getting through, it should be very useful. The idea would involve various forms of checks to ensure no-one is 'upvoting' more than once, spam detection, etc. All of those tools I've already explored through various other projects I've experimented with, so I think I can pull it off while still keeping submissions and votes anonymous. I think leaving it to the community/crowd sourcing it, can be practical and accurate. ```````````````` ````__/\__`````` ~~~\____/~~~~ .~~..~~~....~~~ ~..~~~....~~~~ Thoughts do not come from you nor God; you do not create thoughts; you are not your thoughts; every thought is a lie. - 2 Corinthians 10:5 - [link to www.biblegateway.com (secure)] |

Riff-Raff DEFCON 4 User ID: 76340466 United States 08/08/2018 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It would be an interesting study in social dynamics, but I think it's going to be a lot more complex than you think, beginning with, what is your definition of "censorship?" For instance, are you limiting the scope to examples of accounts being deleted? What about post moderation where profanity is automatically detected and altered? What about autobans on GLP? And once you define it, verification of every submitted instance of censorship based on that definition will take manpower you don't have, unless you have some amazing algorithm for automatic verification. And taking it one step further, if I were to submit something that I think is an example of censorship, but it doesn't meet your criteria and my post is rejected, isn't that a form of censorship in itself? If you decide to do it I would love to monitor the site and the results. I think it would be fascinating. But I'm not sure you realize the scope of work you are setting yourself up for.
