Of course there is a minimum standard - but the problem is to have effective censors you need to give them a degree of leeway/self-judgement and in a politically charged environment this will lead to bias.
Are you saying we shouldn’t discuss an archaeological find because it makes a part of one civilization look bad? That kind of anti-science thinking is dangerous.
I understand what you mean. Christianity can be seen in a different light if we recognized it as being centered around human sacrifice to a monotheistic god. But I think the problem has more to do with too much veneration for Western religion than it does with biased labeling of Native American religious practices.
Be specific. As it stands, your comment says basically nothing. Think about it from the perspective of a random reader who comes across your comment. How on earth will they know what you're talking about?
The only thing stopping it in the US is the equal credit act. Most of these “novel” credit scoring solutions are just attempts to work around the race and other prohibitions in credit scoring. The good news is that these things get shut down quickly with enough complaints. This study points out that the digital tracking is likely a violation.
If that is true ("equal credit act is the only thing stopping it in the US"), then race is the strongest factor[1] for credit scoring, so I'm not sure how China does it (Chinese population is racially homogenous)?
The Chinese recognize race within its borders[1], additionally it may be of interest to the scorer to know who is Hui, Tibetan, or Uyghur.[2]. I don't support this I'm just noting that China is not racially homogenous.
All of these reports take into account the intoxication of any parties involved. Not sure why it’s unfair to point out that the person illegally in the road was in a state that contributed to the accident. It’s not like she was just standing on the sidewalk minding her own business.
Harassment? The guy was a drug dealer with a lot of drugs in his car, and they tried to ask him if they could search his car. I’d say that’s about as far from harassment as it gets.
It’s probably a case of finally having a complete chain from detection to action for smaller non-aircraft crossings. There have already been government cameras in place along the smuggling routes, and you can even watch some amateur hidden footage on YouTube, for example https://youtu.be/dj_4SH_LRSI . There’s also those odd observation airships (TARS aerostats) along the border. The smugglers know they’re being observed, they just counted on low enforcement on ground crossings.
With this system it sounds like law enforcement has the ability and motivation to immediately respond to detection, something that wasn’t there until recently. It also means that as much as the smugglers can try to defeat it, a motivated and well-equipped government has the potential to stay a step ahead (see Israel for an example of this). If this tech works as advertised it might make a pretty big dent, but that’s a pretty big “if”.
