"a project that aims to track anti-immigrant hate speech in real time"
Wow, let's go full dystopian and show the CCP we can do it better. It's frightening that _this_ is what universities (Cornell, in fact) wish to pursue.
They want to automate flagging (and of course naming and shaming) based on completely subjective concepts of "anti-immigrant" and "hate speech". Are statements opposing illegal immigration "anti-immigrant hate speech" -- I'd bet so. Where are the lines? Who decides?
That ostensibly intelligent people have the desire to do this is chilling.
