‘Media freedom’ cops aren’t about to let robots read Russian news

Reporters Without Borders is attacking chatbots for retrieving sanctioned Russian sources, exposing its double standard on journalism Reporters Without Borders (known by its French acronym, RSF) is a Western government-funded think tank with a noble mission: to protect journalists in their work.

Particularly from anyone trying to tell them what to say.

Unless those journalists can’t manage to toe the Western establishment line.

In which case, screw you, pal.

You were obviously asking for it.

Next time, pick an acceptable country to speak truth to power.

Preferably not one who could be on a donor solicitation list for Western NGOs looking for funding.

Besides, if you can’t even manage to stick to the minimally acceptable stenography, then you deserve to get your backside sanctioned by our overlords and excluded from society through debanking.

As long as it’s by the same kind of folks who pay this think tank to fight against such things.

But at the very least, you had to be human to experience the humiliation of being blown off by the self-appointed watchdog and publishers of the famous global press freedom index.

Until now, that is.

Now we have robots doing “journalism.” And they haven’t been subjected to a lifetime of the usual brainwashing about which governments are susceptible to abusing their power or lying to their people.

Nor are they interested in pick-me style self-censorship for the sake of getting ahead.

Instead, they just take an agnostic, dragnet approach to online data – all of it.
