Germany has been one of the worst Western countries for whitewashing Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Now it wants to do it with AI.
While the article is quite insightful, the headline is pure clickbait. Nobody is actually using AI to erase pro-palestinian speech. The AI model isn't even ready to use yet and nobody has indicated to be interested in it. There's this one researcher on antisemitism who sees antisemitism just everywhere - which might be not the most unusual thing in this profession. He also hoped that "social media companies will open their doors" for him. Good luck with that. Anyway , far from "Germany" (who exactly that might be) is "erasing" pro palestine speech (from where?). Germany is going far over the top suppressing any pro-palestinian events, no question. There is a lot of valid critizism of that, but the "erasing" and "using AI" bits are bollocks.
Yeah, the original title of the article is rather click-baity and inaccurate. I edited the title of my post here accordingly (apparently while you where in the process of typing this comment).
