has many different meanings what it in
terms of color like this when we see
these two pictures right here one is
black and the other is white another
meaning the meaning I will be talking
about today is in terms of ideas as in
good or bad in general terms black
opinions Appleton’s as bad opinions and
whites opinions awful tone as good
opinion people have the right to kill
small animals
that’s a black opinion people should
help the grandmother with lots of
baggage across the road that’s a white
opinion in this way people have their
own black and white be it on the
favorite breakfast cereal politician or
superhero however on the internet there
are people who decide their black and
whites or what they perceive to be right
and wrong is concrete these people use
their influence to rub out so-called
black opinions out of their medium the
problem is that these people actually
determine what truth you see every day
they’re supposed to be truthful and they
influence a lot of information you see
I’m talking about the people who watch
over your social media look I know I may
sound like a conspiracy theorist but
listen to me just this once and I’ll
show you one of the closest examples of
this photo censorship can be found right
here on your mobile phone there’s anyone
in this audience to you today you
something called Facebook you use
Facebook please raise your hands if you
use something called Facebook well
that’s a lot of people with me here
today so on Facebook there’s the
training tab and have you noticed that
the trending tab is a little bit strange
maybe it shows you a story that did not
have many likes or something that fit on
it too close to your entrance
turns out employee on Facebook routinely
deleted stories that were not
appropriate from the training tab and
added in their own stories that fit to
their agenda which was mostly
left-leaning and biased they seem to be
weeding out the black from their brand
of whites Facebook is not the only
medium to do this
places like Instagram YouTube and
Twitter use a nasty little tactic called
shadow banning channel banning is the
process of making one’s content only
able to be seen by people who are not
their followers it’s usually a response
to people who spam or people who say
nasty things to others however it can
also be used to silence accounts that
has something controversial to say the
problem with this sort of banning is
that these people do not know that they
have been and they don’t know why
they’re back some lucky people get
emails saying that they were banned for
inappropriate content but most of the
time they don’t get anything at all and
they never seem to gain you subscribers
get new views and the channel just seems
to stagnate the tools or the sorts of
censorship are evolving making it even
easier to black out opinions that are
actually white in color
this is perspective API is a program
developed by Google which can judge a
comment on its toxicity or nastiness
it does this by craving what words they
use in their comments the programmers of
this program have said that they will
not be using this to connote any sort of
bias but if there are people online who
believe they’re black and white this
country and they should delete some
opinions there is no way of knowing how
such a program will be used
so today I’ve told you that there are
some opinions on the internet that by
consensus and companies do this actually
routinely is this helping we today can
do about this actually I believe there
is first we should know that censorship
does happen online and that you
yourselves might be censored another
thing is that we should know that there
are some opinions are just as valid as
ours that consensus just because they’re
controversial or they do not support an
agenda the third thing to do is to look
at information online critically it’s
what I am reading right now really true
if there another perspective to this
problem it’s always important to keep an
open mind the final thing I want to tell
you here in this audience today in fact
when it comes to opinions there is no
absolute black or white so we should not
shun other opinions like Facebook does
by being a spice but to black we should
not block ourselves from reading certain
opinions like Twitter buzz we should not
judge an opinion on the words they use
my perspective API does and we should
never block fan censor or erase certain
opinions just because they seem black
like so many media platforms do by
shadow banning their people please
remember that there are black opinions
there are white opinions but most
opinions are actually
