oh boy. the powers that be, spinning their hate on us into a need for us to be modest.
Declare me an infidel. they need to focus on Chinese and Putin trolls, but mooo, it all will be cleverly misdirected.
“Common Sense” speech control.
Next logical step after “Common Sense” gun control.
The KGB was so foolish - they imposed surveillance, when they could have just let the liberals create it and enslave themselves.
Yeah.. a system to automatically detect “cyber bullying” eh?
Riiiiiight.

This will work about as well as the Obamacare signup websites.
They are going to get themselves outraged and laughed into nonexistence as they clumsily filter keywords and the lawsuits come from those thus victimized, or else the project will never finish because the technology does not exist.
And again this might have nothing to do with harassment but to set up for more general spying.
starts with bullying. ends with doubting dear leader
too true,
and the day is coming when believing exactly what you and I do right now and expressing it online, is going to make us criminals from this increasingly corrupt and tyrannical government,

Problem solved.
