Dartmouth Study of Backyard Photo supposedly confirms authenticity

[Magda Hassan]

Hani Farid is back in the news. If you have forgotten, he's the Dartmouth professor what claimed his mathematical 3D model proved that the BYP are real.

How could we forget.

This time, he has developed software that allows websites to automatically remove content without human intervention. "The software, unveiled Friday, would allow websites such as Facebook Inc. to automatically catch flagged content and remove it or prevent it from being uploaded." When asked about the free speech aspect of his software on NPR radio today, he said his software is "agnostic" on what content is being prohibited, and that it is the owners of the networks or websites who will determine for themselves what should be automatically removed.

We know how this is going to turn out because we know who runs the media and who wants to control it all and the web.

He also said deleting the content is not a freedom of speech issue because the companies have the right to dictate what's suitable. "We allow them to do it fast, accurately, automatically," he said. Microsoft provided the funding to build the software but has no stake in it, Farid said, adding that he and the CEP own the intellectual property.

And they will pay well for it too.

Sounds great, until the government uses it to ban, say, Sanders' supporters passing videos of speeches, or 9/11 documentaries, or perhaps just posts from Albert.

Exactly.
