China is one of the most censorious societies on earth. So what better place for Facebook to recruit social-media censors?
There are at least half a dozen “Chinese nationals who are working on censorship,” a former Facebook insider told me last week. “So at some point, they [Facebook bosses] thought, ‘Hey, we’re going to get them H-1B visas so they can do this work.’ ”
The insider shared an internal directory of the team that does much of this work. It’s called Hate-Speech Engineering (George Orwell, call your office), and most of its members are based at Facebook’s offices in Seattle. Many have Ph.D.s, and their work is extremely complex, involving machine learning — teaching “computers how to learn and act without being explicitly programmed,” as the techy Web site DeepAI.org puts it.
When it comes to censorship on social media, that means “teaching” the Facebook code so certain content ends up at the top of your newsfeed, a feat that earns the firm’s software wizards discretionary bonuses, per the ex-insider. It also means making sure other content “shows up dead-last.”

Like I keep pushing. Eliminate all H1Bs and send the vile filthy lying scum home to India and Communist China. That’s a vast majority of them. That will hurt Big Tech. (That’s why Big Tech is behind Biden/Harris. They already promised to increase H1Bs 10x and lift the caps on all other employment related green cards and visas per year.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. No Chinese national is allowed to come to the USA without loyalty to and the permission of the CCP.
Just noticed Gavin McInnes had a video pulled by FB 6 hours ago titled...

Oh for a giant DNS on these TechnoTyrants!
"When a prince is not in actual fact and power a prince, he should cease to be called a prince. The first task in administering a government is to rectify names." -- Confucius [via Will Durant cited by poconopundit]
Why does one need an H1-B to do such work. Can it not be done via the internet from elsewhere? (Not that I want such work done, but there is no reason for f******k.com to physically relocate anti-americans here if that is who they want to hire.)
