> 'Supporting' in this context means committing crimes including acts of violence.

this is incorrect. Rubio has stated quite plainly that it's based on monitoring speech on social media, and made no mention of "crimes" or "violence". furthermore, simply being anti-Zionist (against an ethnostate built on the colonization of an existing population) is now considered antisemitism by the United States [1]. this used to be a far-right position but through lobbying has become normalized.

Of course saying "stop the genocide" will be interpreted as supporting hamas. Question is, are you ok with this interpretation or not?

It's quite interesting how when americans wake up comments like that go from upvoted to downvoted.

Maybe it’s downvoted because it’s an unsupported assumption you made and Americans are uniquely capable of recognizing that?

Is this about the security of the USA or the security of our greatest ally?

I would be interested to hear how expelling Hamas supporters from the United States is at all beneficial to France.

The article is pretty scant on details in terms of how the judgment would be made but using AI to process for an initial review followed by a final human review seems like a slam dunk choice imo

Is there going to be a review of the false positive and false negative rates? Will the humans review negative and positive results equally well? Will any of the process be transparent? Exactly what will the humans review?

Why are you asking me? I already said this article that half of HN is raging at is scant on any detail. If you don’t know the answers to these questions, which would make sense because this article basically says nothing, and it’s important to you you should probably look into it.

My reaction to this comment is surely Canada or Mexico is the greatest ally of the USA. But, indeed, that may no longer be true under Trump.

I still think it’s France. There’s a good reason for so many cities being named Lafayette

I notice how you reply to this but not to where you stand. I guess we know where you stand.

AI is going to usher in a wonderful world of increased surveillance and authoritarianism. It will be a truly transformative technology, and isn't is great that Silicon Valley is working so hard to bring it to us, as hard and fast as possible?

I don’t engage with people who make unsupported statements with rhetorical aims on their own terms.
