Progressive policies are biblical. Queer love is holy love. Jesus was a refugee and a convicted blasphemer. The people of God killed him for it. Progressive Christianity is for everyone. Love you all #progressivechristian

@jeremybmerrill #2 I believe this AI could easily be able to recognize text and logos that we commonly see inside these fraudulent ads. So it seems that google have the tools and have not thought to use them in this way yet. Or they do know, we would have to ask them for an explanation.

@jeremybmerrill #1 As all internet goers are aware, recaptcha presents the users some random images and asks the user to identify certain characteristics that some of the pictures may contain. The users responses are given to the google image recognition AI. Essentially we all have been teachers to this machine. Showing it how to identify objects inside rasterized images like pngs of jpgs in the same way we do.

@jeremybmerrill this type of fraud detection should not be difficult to implement. There are recaptcha aspects that could be repurposed.

Google also sells ads that impersonate government agencies like the IRS, including with URLs like irs.gov-whatever.com, I reported last year.

These ads all violate Google's rules, they said, but, of course, Google still sells 'em.
