What an insane statement given it has literally happened AND been a massive news story for quite a while now. For anyone still unaware of the massive extent of constitutional rights violations that dyauspitr mentioned, Legal Eagle has a several-part video series that I highly recommend.
I don't know how I feel about prosecuting per se, but I damn well want society to have some social defenses against biggots. I absolutely want AI working on my behalf to tie a bell around the neck of anyone any posts from people going out of their way to be biggots and hateful.
What is there to say? That in many ways Brazil is a failed state now run by an unelected shadow cabinet? That would be true but everyone knows it and it would be a downer to read.
We've asked you recently to avoid breaking the guidelines. This comment breaks them them again, notably these ones:
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously...
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer...
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
The guidelines apply equally to everyone and when people break them repeatedly and ignore our requests to stop, we have to ban the account. Please take a moment to remind yourself of the guidelines and make an effort to observe them in future.
Prosecution requires a law and that would be headline-worthy. An "AI platform" can be used for many law-related activities but that's not news.
