Comment Re: Is this distorting the intention? (Score 5, Informative) 174

Yes. The headline is intentionally racist to generate interest. As a person with an identifiably generic American accent, I've translated between English speakers who had vastly different accents. American English is the international high standard. Queen's English is losing out, because non-rhotic accents can be ambiguous and confusing. So a real-time accent translator would be a great help to many who have trouble with the various international accents. Translating Cockney to American isn't "racist".

The tracking of elected officials should be published on a public website. So every web page, every location dot, every thing they do that anyone in the government tracks of anyone without a warrant is published publicly for all people to see of all the elected officials. Along with the tracking data of everyone within some local distance (to identify associates). Just tracking them was obviously not the point, but also making that tracking available.
