Why is this allowed, again? Every given board has a permanent archive. While this can be useful in rare cases, doesn't it nullify half the purpose of 4chan? Data mining and the iterative construction of complex psychological profiles is already well established, and prose analysis, with various heuristics thrown in, with enough of a database behind it, can identify an anonymous person with reasonable accuracy.

The data is probably duplicated either way, but should this shit really be allowed to go on? It forces you to consciously strip language patterns and avoid the repeated use of key phrases. If someone posts something, you shouldn't be able to just google fragments of it and find archived versions of other posts they've made on 4chan.

I've yet to run into this, but it just seems unfortunate. The content is supposed to be transient for a reason. Then some dickheads make an archive.

Also, let's talk about applied crowd psychology, divide and conquer tactics, and the dangers of a belief in free will.

Also, we may discuss Google and Facebook's obvious desire to create (a) God. The infrastructure is nearly in place for omnipresence and omniscience. At such a point, it might as well be omnipotent. Its omnibenevolence however, depends heavily.

OP here.

It has to do with AI development, neuroscience, and mathematical methods of data processing. eg, for image content recognition (both static and temporal), prose analysis, and human social dynamics.

Etc. Please think before posting. I want you to know that anon. I want you to know you should have thought before posting. I want you to think next time you ask your phone for directions (or whatever), that it doesn't have to give you the shortest path, and with enough information, could engineer the content of your day. Even to the point of arranging meetings.

but you're not talking about these, you only posted and care about the 'soft science' part of
>human social dynamics.
which is why this shitty fedorable thread belongs on another board, maybe /pol/

Anonymity is an illusion (given the need to know).
Institutions doing linguistic analyses do not use public archives, they build their own.
4chan is not so much about indentifying individuals, it is rather one asset to monitor the experiment called Gen Z (the Millennials were a trial run).
