Her Majesty’s Government: it’s okay for someone to spy upon, filter, and report/block your communications, so long as they are an #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning robot
Their choice of the word “we” in this, is very suspicious – it suggest that one way or another they want a stake in the determinations of the robot, as well. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2020-12-15a.146.0#g164.4 Clearly, if it was up to individuals within those companies to identify content on private channels, that would not be acceptable—that would be

If “The #Wellerman” was a swag-bearing representative of a #Whaling contract company, that means the #Whalers were #GigEconomy workers? #SeaShanty
