There is cause for concern in the government’s initiative to curb messages Hate on the Internet. It would be normal if it were actually made to avoid violence. For those who did not know, here is a preliminary information: the federal government recently announced that commissioned the production of an Internet monitoring software to map crimes against human rights on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Flickr, Tumblr, blogs, websites and other social networks.
The order was made to the Laboratory of Studies on Image and Cyberculture of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Labic).
The justification given was to inhibit anonymous violence, crossing public data to reach the author of the message and it can hold you accountable.
The point is that the same Labic, now employed by the federal government, said Aécio Neves campaign made use robots during the debate of presidential candidates on TV Record on 28 September. According to Labic, Aetius the campaign would have promoted artificially positive references to the candidate.
The campaign of Dilma Rousseff used the Labic research to represent him before the Electoral Prosecutor’s Office against the coalition of the PSDB. This coincidence is strange. The political use of a tool like this worries.
