Which kind of rumors may undermine society: perspectives from court orders
Pages 14 - 17
Abstract
Freedom of speech is one of the principles in the constitution of most countries. However, in the 2020 United States presidential election, Donald Trump's Twitter account is suspended due to the risk of further incitement of violence. That leads to the question: Which kind of rumors may undermine society? In this paper, we discuss this question based on the case studies of real-world court orders, which are the judges' official proclamations. We point out the possible research directions that NLP researchers may need to consider before applying our systems to society.
