That sounds like a great plan.

I really do wonder what brilliant idea these geniuses will come up with next. What a wonderful use of our limitless resources at a time when money is plentiful and the country is more united than ever.

This is definitely shaping up to be the greatest administration ever.

I’m fine with this. Ding,Ding!

So, the people they’ve got checking out questionable posts are sarcasm-challenged to the point that software would be better at making such a determination than a human being? Are there a lot of Aspies in the SS or something?

Does the requirement for “sectioning off” and geolocation of influencers seem as if it would be ripe for abuse, above and beyond individuals making legitimate threats? Sounds potentially a little insidious to me. Other uses will be found for such a thing.

This is great!

I could use some lessons in sarcasm.

I am so pleased that I, through the income involuntarily taken from me, can be a part of this endeavor. (I acknowledge now that I should have offered my entire income to Dear Leader as a personal sacrifice for my multiple sins against protected classes: being a partial member of a protected class, the white Anglo in me has caused irreparable harm to the non-white, but I just can't seem to split myself into the pieces I should).

I am certain that the technological advances from the detection of sarcasm will lead to the rapid development of artificial intelligence that will be able to identify and destroy all enemies of The Administration and stamp out all evil chatter that could be seen as offensive to any in The Administration, especially Dear Leader.

Here’s a hint: assume anything I post on Twitter (or here, even) is sarcasm unless proven otherwise. Even this.

I understand why.

To help differentiate those who would threaten the President’s life in earnest, versus those who are wishing him harm without any intent to BRING that harm.

To my mind, this is actually a positive development.

The biggest reason for “flame wars” is the inability to consistently discern the subtle meaning behind the words of email and postings to various types of internet sites. Good luck with trying to coax that ability out of mere software.

The US Secret Service wants to identify sarcastic tweeters from the serious in a bid that will surely cause its software to sink and buckle.

The funny thing is, I don't think this article is satire!

There are a bunch od twits at the Secret Service.
Yes I was being sarc... I mean factual.
