Trump Asks Social Media Companies To Develop Pre-Crime Algorithms
AmiMoJo shares a report from The Verge: After two recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, President Trump said his administration would ask social media companies to develop tools that could detect potential mass shooters. While delivering a speech on the recent violence, Trump said "we must do a better job of identifying and acting on early warning signs," and he suggested social media companies could develop new ways of catching "red flags." While the president did not specify what those "tools" might look like, Trump seemed to be suggesting that companies could use predictive software to single out potential shooters based on their activity on a platform. Crucially, this would mean taking action before a person commits violent crimes. Data-mining tools are in wide use, but creating a detection system for violence would inevitably raise a host of privacy and accountability issues.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
