It appears he ran afoul of Google and is danger of losing his account because of content he is not responsible for.
He copied the chat logs of a scammer who had doxxed him. They are written in a language he does not speak or read. He intended to share them with a Spanish-speaking friend who can translate them properly for him. These were uploaded to his google drive account.
That text, which he did not write and cannot read, contained what Google considers against their content policy as hate speech, and has flagged DJ Slope for deletion and cut him off.
He is pleading for help from anyone who can get in contact with Google to help him in this matter.
That just means the best minds from other, potentially less friendly countries, will do the picking. I doubt they will responsibly disclose.
I have other financial processes which rely upon timely processing of my completed tax filing, and every year it causes me trouble. So if something is thought to be worthless and about to fold, "just hang onto it" could cause a non-zero amount of headaches.
The results I get seem to be random spitouts of reddit or facebook posts. Very often it even says something like "Next Post >>" or has a timestamp of the post.
Is this using the same model? Is there some kind of tuning I have to do?
Merry Christmas HN
Thank goodness, there's still a chance they can come to their senses.
Initiate a policy or order, mitigating the immediate damage. Then, days, months or years later, a court will decide you didn't have that power and will reverse it. But the threat or problem was already dealt with and there are no repurcussions except political capital spent.
Businesses have this odd existential mandate of having to make more money than they spend, or they would disappear. This doesn't typically happen to humans, so less humans follow that rule and subsidize losses with credit.
Therefore people who want to force things that require money to implement go to who they perceive to have the money to burn.
I suppose my church chose it because they wanted to have communion with thousands of people. That's another issue entirely.
