Google Developing Tools to Suppress Online Speech, Protect Elites’ Feelings

Jigsaw, a small subsidiary of Google, is working on multiple technological projects that would work to censor speech on the Internet and increase monitoring of its users, according to an article published on Wired.

Under a veil of protecting people from abuse by authoritarian regimes and online trolls, Jigsaw founder and president Jared Cohen is releasing a set of tools known as ‘Conversation AI.’

I want to use the best technology we have at our disposal to begin to take on trolling and other nefarious tactics that give hostile voices disproportionate weight [we will] do everything we can to level the playing field, said Cohen. Jigsaw argues that online trolls bully people into self-censoring their views, and that online speech must be moderated to ensure that nobody is silenced.
