RE: Why Anti-Plagiarism bots are Bullsh..

in #anarchism8 years ago

Something came to mind so I'm just going to make a comment instead of editing my post...

It seems these bots are coming about as a means to bring a product to market, in a manor of speaking. There seems to be this demand so those who are able to are developing tools which could wind up crippling some major aspects of what a social site is meant to be... sharing.

I can't fault these developers for 'pandering' to the market by making these bots and no doubt hoping to be rewarded by either notoriety an/or monetarily; but some of them are seriously killing the point of decentralization and non-censorship. Self censoring tools are needed, blocking tools and the like, but I don't see those being made (yet) which is funny because I do instead see tools made to censor other's. It's almost like we as people are stuck in this mental-thought trap we can't escape... another issue I wrote about. I just keep thinking about all this stuff and it seems to be coming to fruition in one way or another, it's nice to see others agree in some way... and I'm totally open to counter arguments, anything which can expand my mind is a good thing.
