| The government wants to study 'social pollution' on Twitter |
| 2014-10-19 |
| [WAPO] The project is being developed by researchers at Indiana University, and its purported aim is to detect what they deem "social pollution" and to study what they call "social epidemics," including how memes -- ideas that spread throughout pop culture -- propagate. What types of social pollution are they targeting? "Political smears," so-called "astroturfing" and other forms of "misinformation." An battery powered man-portable tough box Geo-Locator with google house-to-house map apps and SWAT MPRAP electrical [klik and go] quick connectors available soon. |

| #2 I'd be tempted to make a twitter account and flood it with nonsense, purely in the name of enhancing the study. You know, words like "Democrat treason failure anti-human human sacrifice" etc. You know, all the true labels they try to hide:p |

| #1 IS this really the time for the government to be advertising another waste of money study? And who thought it would be good to use the term epidemics at this point? |
