Policing content isn't the same thing as stopping active damage to the internet. Even in the US where free speech is king, you can't go around slashing tires or taking down stop signs and say it's protected by the 1st amendment or something.

This is totally off topic and I apologize, but considering apparently you and I share very similar views on "social networking" and such, you would probably really love (or really hate) the show Black Mirror if you don't already. It does an excellent job of showing just how fucked up things can get when these things get out of hand.

Sorry, you got downvoted to oblivion because HN now believes phrenology is a valid science. Also, good job downvoters for making yourself look like idiots.

You know what, you're right. We should look at ourselves first and learn to respect those in power before questioning their motives.

Says a lot about the general state of things when people on HN who speaks out against nazis now get downvoted into oblivion... sad world we live in.

Not only is he arguably violating Mechanical Turk's terms of service by simple asking people to sign up for this in the first place, he's even gaming MTurk itself by creating multiple Amazon accounts with pseudonyms and spamming the marketplace with requests. Cute, Mr. Forth, really, really cute.
Update: If you don't believe it, here's a screenshot straight from HIT Scraper, a Greasemonkey script MTurk workers often use to display job listings on Mechanical Turk in a more easily parsable fashion: http://imgur.com/DOAIuy3
Not sure how he pulled this one off, considering Amazon is now requiring a verified SSN or tax ID for requesters to purchase money to post HITs, but there you have it.
