We need to spread awareness to normies as fast and as powerfully as possible.
Candid is a service that presents itself as an anonymous free speech platform.
In reality, Candid is a project started by two Google AI engineers who are attempting to create a machine learning platform that can identify "undesirable" forms for speech and automatically censor them. The founders have already publicly expressed their intention to silence opinions they disagree with (see below).
Also, the service is not actually anonymous, you have to register with Candid using either your Facebook account (where they ask for all your personal data e.g. education and employment history) or your phone number, so Candid always knows exactly who is posting each comment.
This service is an attempt to limit free speech disguised as a way to enhance free speech, and Maddox is now one of their paid shills. Maddox will never entertain the idea of discussion on this topic, not even on his """Advertisement-free""" website that totally isn't affected by his sponsorships on other platforms you guys.
A YouTuber named "Harmless Opinions" has several interesting (albeit dry) videos that expand on this:

Is this trying to be a new app? Can't you just not use the app?
What I'm getting at is, if people are wrongly censored for no apparent reason, they'll get tired with it quickly and stop using it. I don't see anything like this surviving longer than 5 minutes.
POTENIAL SHILL: >>57331856 Don't worry about Candid. There's nothing to worry about.
Perhaps not, but if my concern bothers you, then make a filter blocking all my annoying Candid posts from showing up on your screen, because YOUR CONCERN OVER MY CONCERN is suspicious, and with topic filters, you don't get the excuse that my posts are annoying you. Filter me and my threads and go away. Even if you're not a shill.

>POTENIAL SHILL
Lol wtf?
I wasn't even going to post in your thread but since it was disappearing into oblivion with only one reply I thought, 'I had better bump this as it could be important'. Now I see I shouldn't have bothered taking pity on you.
Take your delusion and ram it up your loose-ass you faggot. Hahhaha
Non-polite sage.

They literally tell the paid celebs not to argue, because they want to avoid bad publicity.

mmm nice meme
Don't sweat it
If i have learned something about their speech algo is that something as simple like /pol/'s operation google can hijack this easily.

>/pol/'s operation google can hijack this easily.
Elaborate please?
>>57332767
Don't reply. He's clearly a newfag and is here with an agenda. He's fishing for information >>57332788

>>57332801
What is your evidence for that?
Good on you anon.
It's unsettling to think that with google's wide ecosystem, they might be adding a product to censor opinions within that ecosystem.
>>57332788
It was all over the news m8
Just search something like "google skype hate speech"
>>57332817
>"google skype hate speech"
Nice!
>>57331098
The youtubers that shilled the app most likely didn't know the true intentions behind it as they're strong free speech supporters

>they're strong free speech supporters
What gives you that faith?
George Ouzounian accused his best friend of maintaining a rapelist.
TheAmazingSellOut, accepts large sums of money for fake website projects that go under very quickly. See FreeSpeechVids and NotProductive.
MundaneMatt and any others I don't know enough about, but they seem small enough to be bought.
You've been spamming this on /pol/ already.
>>57333065
What the fuck is a "rapelist"?
>>57333115
Every board is /pol/

As someone who used to read Maddox from ten years ago, hearing his voice is a massive disappointment. He sounds like a fucking dweeb.
