facebook is already building a bot that does exactly this for employers. they even used unionizing as the ready-made example of why employers would want to use the feature.

https://theintercept.com/2020/06/11/facebook-workplace-unionize/

our options right now, for the immediate future at least are:
1) dystopian panopticon that's used primarily against the left
2) dystopian panopticon used against the left and the extreme right

pushing for 2 because it's better than 1 doesn't necessarily mean support for dystopian panopticons, it's just our least worst option until the left can seize the state

The chance for abuse within this theoretical system is ridiculous

doesn't take a lot for a bot designed to flag servers with high volumes of racial slurs/violent threats to flag servers where 'union' and 'strike' are used a lot

really dont understand this urge/desire to build a panopticon for the modern version of AOL Instant Messenger

whether you intend it that way or not, this is a lovely concern troll and lovely solidarity, putting your own imagined issues ahead of a very real threat to people of colour

the system I'm describing is in no way a panopticon and suggesting that active monitoring of white supremacy will inevitably erode all free speech is a dumb slippery slope argument that the libertarians who run tech companies use all the time to avoid responsibility for the damage their platforms cause

anyway, if discord wants to crack down on people trying to organise unions, which they have given absolutely no indication they intend to, then they would, regardless of whether the tech already exists to target white supremacists

Discussing the horrible panopticon of "have active moderation for your public chat service so it doesn't fill up with nazis" here on the something awful dot com forums, a public chat service specifically known (and sought out) for its active moderation that keeps it from filling up with nazis

the vast majority of discord is like, very small servers made up of like, 12 friends. i get wanting the big (and literally sponsored/verified/publicly listed, even) servers to be actively moderated but snooping through what amounts to a slightly more convoluted group texts is what i'm extremely against. 99% of discord is not a public forum in the slightest

like, most servers on discord only exist to a user if you have an invite url, those are private. if we're going as far as to get a 3rd party to moderate/monitor a chat between a dozen people thats where i completely disagree with this concept

it's also a lot less of a logistics nightmare to moderate a forum where people from a wide variety of political and social backgrounds can report posts independently of one another

also how do you monitor voice channels in discord, all speech recognition software is trained on very narrow demographics

I don't get the argument about copyright filters. Copyright filters are terrible, they detect a huge amount of false positives. It's just that there's no alternative to using them.

I recently got moved to a new project because "there wasn't enough work for everybody" in my old one. The people who remained there are now overworked and sometimes doing as much as 4 hours of unpaid overtime.

It's very efficient.

The talk of Discord is funny because there's no need for big-brother spying on every 'server', they could just loving start by enabling the ability to report messages and servers without literally enabling developer mode so you can copy the internal IDs for an email to support

Why you should put your opinions about unions, the names of anyone talking about strikes, and a list of the softest body parts you don't want hit by police batons on your resume, according to a Chief People Officer

The article is already great and I've only read the first few sentences:

https://www.businessinsider.com/add-protesting-to-your-resume-hr-expert-2020-6

quote:

Not only will doing so help showcase your leadership and resiliency skills, but it will also help weed out employers who aren't aligned with what you believe in.

You know, like all of them.

quote:

When you are seeking job opportunities, it is critical to identify employers that are aligned with your values. For example, take a close look at organizations that are making financial contributions to social justice groups (beauty brands, gaming companies, large corporations, well known brands).

Bahahaha only work for ethical companies like EA Games and Coca Cola

e: Oh those are links, the gaming company is Ubisoft and one of the well-known brands is loving Facebook

Leadership: Some of you have figured out ways to help others during the protests. You have given out masks and water to those protesting. You have launched fundraisers. You've worked with others to stop looting (and, in some cases, even created physical barriers).

Oh I see, they're talking about putting your Back the Blue protest experience on there, I guess that works.

Since graduation, I've built a record of professional excellence and leadership by taking initiative and putting myself in charge of paramilitary death squads in Latin America. In this capacity I've prevented damage to private property and created leverage and opportunities for small and large enterprises alike. I believe this makes me qualified for the junior salesman position.
