   @downey iVerify might be a useful tool, or it might not. It really depends on how it is made, what its premises are, and how useful it can be. What does "hate speech" mean for Detoxify? Can this definition move, and on what terms?

   Maybe it's worth discussing with the people who used it: are the versions matching deployments in countries or is it something else?

   Also, the illustration showing a line of Indian women showing their ID is pretty creepy, and I hope does not reflect the system.

     Requesting #Fediverse opinions:

     Before I arrived here, UNDP created a platform to work on "online information pollution" called iVerify. It was based on the (now defunct) CrowdTangle platform from Meta, Detoxify/Perspective, and Meedan Check.

     We haven't yet had conversations about what's next for it.

     What do we collectively think? Something worth continuing to invest in? Are there safer, more sustainable integrations? How might it keep up with new platforms?
