How does it feel to be the subject of scientific research, /pol/?
>Shining a light on the dark corners of the web
>Cybercrime researcher Gianluca Stringhini explains how he studies hate speech and fake news on the underground network 4chan.
>the researchers analysed 8 million posts on 4chan’s /pol/ (‘politically incorrect’) board, and traced how its users ‘raid’ other websites by posting inflammatory comments
>The percentage of /pol/ posts containing hate speech is 12%, whereas on Twitter it’s 2%
>Was it unpleasant reading all these posts?
>It’s definitely a hateful place and quite unpleasant. It’s not nice looking at it. My colleagues and I have some best practices: we advise whoever is working with us not to spend too much time continuously on the website, and to take breaks. We have this inside joke to every once in a while go and look at cat pictures.
Imagine being paid as a """"cybercrime researcher"""" to spend days and days sifting through 8 million shitposts to analyze hate speech

I doubt it desu, but I see your point. Nevertheless there are people that believe this about 4chan. Hell, probably most people on here thought that this was a hate-speech conspiracy theory board before they started frequenting.
>>129344481

I'm curious. What cybercrime is /pol/ participating in exactly?
Shouldn't this guy spend his time going after actual cyber criminals? There are entire networks out there full of people dealing in illegal shit, and he comes to /pol/ because we say mean things?
Is this a joke?

They are socialists co-opting the liberal label by hiding under "social liberals", at least in America.

/pol/ may have added some to it but the in game protest was already massive with just reddit and people in game
>>129346902
Because their views are iinherently flawed. Which is why sites like faggot central which is heavily moderated and censored is left wing and places like /pol/ which is basically anything on topic and not illegal is right wing

>>129344481
I've been looking into how supposed "fake news" is quantified as part of a summer research project. The majority of algorithms rely on lists of (((fake news sites))) compiled by some authority (like snopes in the case of facebook). Others attempt to parse the site content looking for the percentage of opinion, which is again referenced to things that are "known true", verified by some authority, subjectively in most cases.
So if I say the earth is round on Infowars, it will be dismissed as "fake news" as Infowars has been deemed a "fake news" site.
There is some work in AI neural networks, however it is a long way off and in no way a accurate predictor of the truthfulness of any given text.
The problem is, as it has always been, with natural language processing. How can a computer read and interpret human language, in all its ambiguity, reliably.
So essentially what we have now is a program that parses text on a website, extracts the topic and stance (topic: jfk killed by cia. stance: true), determines if any "reliable" site has come to the same conclusion, check the target sites (((reliability score))), and issue a conclusion.
TL:DR ironically, by subjectively choosing what information is fake, fake news detection systems are, in and of themselves, fake news
>>129346902
By thoroughly convincing oneself that any ideological opposition is rooted in malice, one can:
>never admit to being wrong and completely ignore perfectly logical opposing arguments via the presumption that there is malicious intent underlying the proposals made therein
>combat insecurities regarding moral character by believing that they are on the side of "good" against "evil"
>silence and not have to deal with any opposition by making out the opposition to be "dangerous"
These left-wing ideologies actually have almost no basis in logic or reason. They are projections of psychological problems and complexes.

>>129348929
>where did he get the neural nets from?

By "he" I'll assume you're referring to the projects I researched. They created the networks themselves and trained them themselves. So, even if a AI system becomes proficient at NLP, the logic it uses to determine "truth" will be completely subjective as it relies on human trainers.
>>129348668
The fact that the term "fake news" attempts to lump stupid hoax websites that've been around forever, subversive foreign propaganda, and conspiracy theories all into one is disturbingly dangerous. The term is clearly designed to be used both as a scapegoat for establishment electoral failures and to discredit anyone reporting information or offering commentary that runs contrary to the narrative -- God forbid, someday, as an excuse to regulate the press.
>>129349410
Well they have to come up with a counter strategy, we were destroying them.

This /ourguyXYZ/ thing needs to stop.
>can't let people spend too much time alone on that naughty site
Can't let people get redpilled, he means.
>>129349410
Exactly, and that any information not reported on extensively, by "reliable sources", is false by default.
So if I witness a bank robbery, have it on video, and post it to my blog, these algorithms will deem it fake as cnn doesn't know about it yet.
>>129344481
>The percentage of /pol/ posts containing hate speech is 12%
i'm quite dissapointed in this you goddamn niggers, i bet even a bunch of fucking kikes could do better

They definitely need a recount on those stats. Fucking retards.

Those faggots have always the same expression.
>>129344481
>we advise whoever is working with us not to spend too much time continuously on the website, and to take breaks.
This must be how normies respond to this level of redpilling. I didn't realise I was so desensitised.
>>129344481

You know I genuinely believe leftists should be gassed and I can see the parallels in my behavior with this list, but at the same time I really do feel like Leftist ideology, doctrine, and policy is detestable and frankly evil.

yes, but there were dark times when chan wasn't linked on the intercyber. and by intercyber i mean cuckbook.

I read their papers in my university library. I'd post the link but I'm pretty sure you won't have access.
Here is how I initially went about it, using Google:
Fake news detection -> neural network fake news detection -> AI+fake news+detect
That led me to some interesting articles. Armed with those, I knew what to look for in the library
How this helps
>>129344481
>The percentage of /pol/ posts containing hate speech is 12%
That is way too low, from now on my every post will end with "kill niggers and jews"
>>129353280
*hope this helps
This guy is why /pol/ even exists. Because he gets paid for a bullshit job with no defined goal. Just another faggot adding bullshit to the world. If this guy gives a shit about fake news, he'd be exposing those copy cat mainstream media sites posted around facebook and produced in macedonia. Or investigating the trend of reddit to suspiciously close every conversation when people start getting rowdy or calling for blood (where are those orders coming from?).
Fire this fucking nigger. Oh, was that hate speech? Maybe because the stupidity of the world is so great it demands intense nonsensical speech you fucking faggit.
>>129344481
>>129353280
>I'd post the link but I'm pretty sure you won't have access.
Why would you assume that, silly faggot?
Post the links, if you already done the digging fatigue.
Also, you could use a phone to document interesting articles if your library doesn't provide online access.
