A few weeks ago, someone on Twitter created a bot that would respond “WOOF WOOF” at any racist posts it can detect. Of course, the Twitter community was divided by this, one side praising it for showing what racism is (and some politics) and another for the idea of humiliating people like this is cruel (and also politics). It’s called the Twitter Racism Watchdog.
Here’s the best part. Since it’s a bot, it’s the most unbiased thing on the site. After all, the guy who made it can’t be putting exceptions and stuff. That’s not how programming works. So recently, a black woman was arrested for aggravated assault in innocent people after declaring to “hate white people”.
And the bot called her out on it.
Twitter fucking exploded, with the creator receiving death threats and arguments about how “you can’t be racist against white people” (which is false btw). So just less than a day, he “took a break” from Twitter and told everyone how he’s been receiving threats and such.
I was against the idea of a Racism Watchdog but seeing that it will also call you out on white racism, I’m okay with it.
