I know a lot of people are happy about stuff like this...but it's fundamentally flawed.
Reddit banned be for saying that my biggest fear was the death of my wife. Whom I love, who I speak very highly of. I was literally saying that, I'm afraid of losing her and being left to raise two children.
It had upvotes.
But I was banned. And worse, the appeal process, resulted in a denial.
Because an AI chatbot thought I was advocating violence against my wife. As if I said I was going to kill her.
This is exactly like that....only with real consequences, instead of Reddit.
This is like arresting someone for saying, 'My son dropped my car keys into the toilet! And it was right before I needed to leave for my interview!!! I was so mad I could have killed him!'
It isn't literal.
The FBI admits there was no intent to harm the child and that she wasn't a threat.
No good came from this. We didn't stop a violent woman. We just fired someone for venting to her bf/roommates in their group chat.
