Surprise! That 4,100-page budget included thousands to fund a big brother AI program that will monitor and censor the internet. Who knew that the bill that was too damn big to read in the short time allowed before voting could possibly contain bloated and dangerous spending programs?
Certainly not the 9 Republicans who voted for it…
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton likened the Biden administration’s funding of the artificial intelligence research to the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to “censor speech unapproved by the state.” For the Biden administration, Fitton said, the research is a “project to make it easier for their leftist allies to censor speech.”
A spokesman for the National Science Foundation, which issued the research grant, rebuffed criticism of the project, which he said “does not attempt to hamper free speech.” The project, the spokesman said, creates “automated ways of identifying biases in speech” and addresses the biases of human content moderators.
The research is being funded by the Biden administration at a time when the White House is under fire for allegedly attempting to limit free expression online. Last month, Biden proposed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter be investigated after the billionaire vowed that the social media platform will follow a “free speech” agenda. Internal Twitter documents published by Musk this month also revealed a long-standing collaboration between the FBI and Twitter staff, with the agency often participating in the platform’s content moderation.
The Biden crime family is continually coming up with new ways to waste taxpayer money on liberal pranks. As we can see here, they’ve invested almost $500,000 to construct an artificial intelligence algorithm that would detect “microaggressions” on social media.
This is a clear violation of the First Amendment, which does not provide, “Congress shall pass no law abridging the freedom of expression, unless such speech may make some people feel unpleasant.”
This appears to be a new iteration of the administration’s Disinformation Board. 1984 here we come. Biden is going to pass his big-brother Orwellington bills one piece at a time.
Thankfully, and hopefully, the GOP securing the House for 2023 will put an end to this new plot.
