m on blog 38;The Intolerance

Image
So,A few months ago, some of us came to know about the word intolerance,I was wondering and curious to know about the root of this special word that led many to return their prestigious awards and marked the begining of a tradition, of returning the Hard Earned awards. Intolerance is unwillingness to let other people act in a different way but really we, Indians have become so much intolerant towards our fellow compatriots that these so called intellectuals are returning their awards ?? This was not just my question or thinking but many like me were pondering over this. Then I found out the reason how this difficult pronouncing word upsurged in the market and the one who or rather which were responsible are  the words Ghar Wapsi (Home Coming), Beef ban (These two are some other topic for some another day) .

How ridiculous ! It was only after massive outcry that Facebook let users’ re-post this iconic image. My point being - Social media like Facebook needs human evaluators in-spite of its nerdy algorithms. Algorithms couldn’t detect whether that image was a porno or not. It couldn’t understand its historical significance. That’s where humans comes in to play. That’s where Social Media Evaluators and Social Media Moderators comes into play. And you my friend can be one of them right after you finish reading this post. Let’g go a little deeper in to these two positions, shall we? SOCIAL MEDIA EVALUATORS Social Media Evaluators are people who evaluate s
