#Twitter takes down 300,000 #terror accounts as #AI tools improve

The company further emphasizes it killed a majority of the pro-terrorism accounts set up on its platform before they could post anything: “Notably, 75% of these accounts were suspended before posting their first Tweet,” it writes.

How can they kill an account before the first tweet?

First I thought they identify the terrorists, on whom they follow. But if they know, that this account is following terrorist, why didn't they kill these accounts first? I think it is impossible to kill an account before the first post. This is pure censorship from a global company, which wants too show, how cool they can handle assumed terrorism. You know nothing Twitter :( #Criticism is not terrorism.

I wish we could address this #problem with #education. If people could identify #fake, #hate and terror, Twitter wouldn't have to take it down.

#Chocolate #industry drives #rainforest #disaster in Ivory Coast

According to the Guardian’s research, "cocoa is a monster that will eventually eat itself, scientists say. Farmers will miss the trees they cut and burned down for the very reason that their shade would have protected their #cocoa #plants from increasingly parched, dry seasons, driven by cutting down trees."

...

“It’s white people who eat chocolate, not us,” one says.

Is our appetite for chocolate destroying the rainforests?

I switched on the server at 1:12 p.m. Wednesday, fully expecting to wait days—or weeks—to see a #hack attempt.

Wrong! The first one came at 1:53 p.m.

“Many were surprised to learn that when the plant is decommissioned, the fuel has nowhere to go," said David Victor, chairman of the San Onofre Community Engagement Panel tasked with overseeing the closure. "The problem is, nobody is in charge."

The Case Against #Democracy

First, one could deny that #truth was a suitable standard for measuring political #judgment. This sounds extreme, but it’s a fairly common move in political #philosophy. After all, in #debates over contentious issues, such as when human life begins or whether human activity is warming the planet, appeals to the truth tend to be incendiary. Truth “peremptorily claims to be acknowledged and precludes debate,” Hannah #Arendt pointed out in this magazine, in 1967, “and debate constitutes the very essence of political life.” Estlund wasn’t a relativist, however; he agreed that politicians should refrain from appealing to absolute truth, but he didn’t think a political theorist could avoid doing so.
