Google accused of 'creepy' speech policing:

Google has been criticised for an "inclusive language" feature that will recommend word substitutions for people writing in Google Docs.

The tool will offer guidance to people writing in a way that "may not be inclusive to all readers" in a similar manner to spelling and grammar check systems.

Although the suggestions are just suggestions - they aren't forced on writers and the tool may be turned off - critics have described it as "speech-policing" and "profoundly clumsy, creepy and wrong".

The new feature is officially called assistive writing and will be on by default for enterprise users, business customers who might want to nudge particular writing styles among their staff.

The language the system favours reflects decades of campaigning for gender-neutral terms ("crewed" instead of "manned") and against phrases that reflect racial prejudice ("deny list" instead of "blacklist"), as well as more modern concerns about the impact of our vocabulary on how we identify people.

    Just so you know, when you spam your racism it is the opposite of winning - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday April 28, @04:19PM (#1240381)

    FACT: I can't be "racis" vs. a RELIGIOUS cult STUPID: JEWS are NO RACE - they are a religious cult.

    * Thus, there's NO WAY I can be "racis" regarding JEWS (a religious cult, not a race) DUMBO - so "drink that in & DIGEST it" dunce. It's fact...

    * NOW, try to tell me I am "ANTI-SEMETIC" but then you'd have to prove what you call "JEWS" are in fact, SEMITES - New NEWS: AshkeNAZI jews are NOT SEMITES & DNA tests prove it... now, you look @ SEPHARDIC jews? They are, in fact, descendants of SHEM (thus, semites/semitic).

    FACT: You're just (& you're MAKING me just HAVE to say it, again, classic) "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'" to GET THE BETTER OF!

    ( & I thought you jews 'bred for intelligence' - this I got from a friend of mine who IS a jew no less - well, YOU in particular, SURELY DON'T SHOW IT, lol!)

    APK

    P.S.=> As far as your bs JEW (FAKE JEW Ashkenazi probably) & you NOT being a JEW? Well, let's start some of those quotes from your TALMUD ("those who say they are JEWS but are not but are of the SYNAGOGUE of SATAN, per John the Revelator from scripture no less) as to your "honesty" for starters:

    Asduming everyone that criticizes you is Jewish just really hammers how unwell your mind is - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday April 28, @04:19PM (#1240381)

    "Asduming"? Learn to spell & TAKE A READ from your TALMUD as far as TRUTH from you JEWS:

    Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."

    No one wants you around apk. - by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday April 27, @09:11PM (#1240187)

    NOBODY WANTS JEWS AROUND - FACT: 110 nations TO DATE have KICKED JEWS OUT (gosh I wonder why). Ahem: Cuba wouldn't take you during WWII exodus from Germany & NEITHER WOULD THE USA, per USS St. Louis that attempted to EXPORT JEWS WITH MONEY OUT OF PRE-WW2 GERMANY were TURNED AWAY by Roosevelt, numerous southern equator nations like CUBA, Venezuala and Brazil etc. too? NOBODY WANTS THEIR PLAGUE of thievery and vice! NOBODY!

    Yet Barbara Spectre, a jew, tells everyone it's jews orchestrating the muslim migrant problem in Europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ/ [youtube.com] . No migrant raping of women in Poland. Tons in Sweden. Do the math. Use common-sense. This is to get muslims and other goyim/gentiles to wipe one another out as incompatible cultures that will clash and always have - THIS makes what the original poster stated ABSOLUTE FACT from a MODERN DAY JEW in Spectre (demon, literally).

    Per the OP You replied to FALSELY STATING it was I (though again, I agree with him & he is CORRECT/RIGHT AS RAIN) https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=48940&page=2&cid=1240177#commentwrap [soylentnews.org] he states that very thing.... apk
