    Mentioning a country by the name implies it’s the government doing it.
    Else you need to name the individual/organization that does it.

    How would you feel if I said “[Insert OP’s first name] murders childrens and fucks their bodies” while being in your hometown?
    Same energy.

      The outcome is responsibility of the whole environment. This project didn’t come out of nowhere.

      It’s not just who’s doing but who allowed it. If somebody murdered children in my hometown I would hold social services and mental health services responsible for that.

        In that case it should (IMO) be “A government backed project at the TU is using AI to erase/eliminate/minimize Pro-Palestinian Speech”.

        Now this is obviously not as catchy but you get my drift. Accuracy vs Inflammatory/opinion/sentiment steering.

        And especially on Lemmy I dislike outside influence on my opinion and wish for a neutral stance.

          Your opinions are all influenced by the outside. The distinction is just between influences you ignore/accept and influences you reject. We are not born with opinions.

            You are completely missing the point.
            Obviously opinions are influenced by your environment.
            The difference is if you tell me about a thing that happened and I can form my own opinion on the topic or if you want me to feel a certain way about a thing that happened and thus steering my sentiment.

            One is neutral. The second is obviously not.
