(MENAFN) The United States Division of Homeland Security launched a program that seeks to automate the name of social media users as “pro-terrorist” according to their use of specific keywords and interfacing with other targeted users, in line with the credentials attained by the Brennan Center for Justice and issued on Tuesday.
Project Night Fury, a cooperation among the DHS and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, looked to allocate possibly “pro-terrorist” users a “risk score” that would then influence additional users they dealt with.
The university had accepted to launch automated approaches to indicate whether a user associated to one already under observation was itself “pro-terrorist,” utilizing measures like “keyword set comparisons.” The algorithm, not a human, would indicate whether an account might be named as “pro-terrorist” for just clicking “like” on a Facebook post or retweeting a user that had already received that tag.
