Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Wednesday unveiled a new government AI tool that will rank social media sites based on how much hate speech they host. “If hate is already dangerous, social networks have turned it into a weapon of mass polarization that ends up seeping into everyday life,” Sánchez said at an International Summit against Hate and Digital Harassment. "Today social networks are a failed state,” he said. The new system, known as HODIO, will analyze large volumes of publicly available activity on social media to measure the scale and spread of online hate speech. The data will be used to track how hateful content evolves and spreads on platforms, and will feed into a public ranking comparing how much hate speech circulates on major networks.

The European Union has rolled out laws and regulations like the Digital Services Act to crack down on illegal and harmful online content. The rules have drawn the ire of the United States' administration, which sees them as online censorship.

I’m so tired of Western Europe. Eastern Europe is mostly based and cool though. The UK needs to be liberated and brought back into the fold.

Oddly Spain had more freedom under Francisco Franco.

Who is still dead.

France is the only country that is even somewhat capable of an actually being a somewhat good military ally in what we call or would see as Western Europe. This is assuming they were inclined which they are not and couldn’t likely actually sustain any type of operations for more than a few weeks at most without massive logistical support from us of course.


They also have really good intelligence which I don’t see brought up much.

Why not start with elimination of bots and bot farms?

It does not take much to think that much of the division occurring across the world is driven by bot farm agitators and nefarious organizations.

I hope people troll the hell out of this thing to the point that it's useless.

It’s mostly just the places that were initially west of the Berlin Wall, outside of maybe just Portugal, who is mostly at worst useless and at best not actively a hindrance.

As I said above liberate the UK and bring them back into fold. Let the others fall into a new pact under France. Keep the states that were part of the Soviet Union, imo at least.

Do you know why they put side view mirrors on their tanks?

So they can see the enemy as they retreat.

I knew someone would make that joke

They do have like 200,000 active duty soldiers, expeditionary units, etc and the largest nuclear umbrella to fall under.

For reference I think Germany keeps like 15k active duty? Which is absurd.

They can't define it, but they know it when they see it.
