Did Correct the Record (CTR) or whatever that post-election organizational rebrand was called... lose their funding in the past month or two? I just noticed that /pol/ isn't 90% anti-Trump/AltRight troll threads and pandering.

Did Ben Fischbein's contract run out, or did their metrics show that they were making things worse? I'm still concerned about Eric Feinberg's growing hand of hate-speech detection patents.

>He's also co-owner of a patent issued in December for a "computerized system and method for detecting fraudulent or malicious enterprises." His system works in part by analyzing when videos and websites contain words that appear alongside such phrases as "kill Jews." He's logged thousands of sometimes innocuous or obscure sounding terms he says "co-trend" with such hate speech or exhortations to violence, which in turn helps him finding offensive videos.

>His efforts with the media have been classic problem-solution marketing. Mr. Feinberg makes no bones about his interest in licensing his technology to Google and other digital platforms to monitor offensive content and keep ads away from it.

>Eric Feinberg, who hopes to sell his system for detecting 'malicious enterprises' online to platforms such as YouTube.

>But Mr. Feinberg said in an interview on Friday that he doubts Google can succeed. At least, he said, "not without violating my patent."

I see VICE viral marketing here from time to time (remember to report and hide threads). Here's hoping the CTR spam operation center was shut down or they slowly become one of us. Like that poor internet at YouTube Spotlight who was tasked at cleaning up the comment section of the Refugee virtue signaling video, maybe they cried so hard they gave up.
