Is Google using some mentally deficient AI to censor content?
Certainly the censorship seems mentally deficient. Here's the warning [Now removed] they are [were] giving anyone attempting to access this site:
Sensitive Content Warning
This blog may contain sensitive content. In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Community Guildelines.
What does that even mean. Sensitive? sensitive! Is it now obscene, dishonest, or subversive to be "sensitive"?
Does Google's censor even know what the word "sensitive" means?
Isn't everyone alive "sensitive"? And what's wrong with that?
This apparent effort by Google to discourage readership is so inane, we have to assume it is either done by a poorly educated teenager employed as a censor at sub-minimum wage, or by a really dumb AI.
Which is it Google?
Not that we're expecting a reply, let alone an apology. Sadly Google is not as it once was. In the early days, when I wrote to Google expressing concern about Google caching all of my proprietary published data (I was at the time a publisher of scholarly journals) I had a polite and reassuring email from Sergey Brin. Now we're just pissed on without any means of effective response -- other than this comment which I suspect Google's current censorship regime is too dumb to understand. But let's see.
