I'm reading a leaked internal Facebook document published on theverge.com where it's suggested that they build a "troll classifier" based on the use of words like "reeee", "normie", "IRL", "Shadilay", "lulz".

The have also suggested a "meme cache" - one of the memes shown is a Folgers coffee cup which says "Best part of waking up, Hillary lost to Trump".

Based on this classifier and hits to the meme cache, "trolls" would experience things like auto-logout, limited bandwidth.

Under "when to trigger this" they also suggest the period "Leading upto elections".

So on the one hand this document seems well-intentioned because there's some bad behavior in these groups like raiding, doxxing, racism, etc.

Rather than focusing on behaviour like doxxing and raids, the approach suggested seems to be directed at a specific group. Why? In the entire universe is it only this group that engages in this kind of behaviour?

It also does a broad classification that lumps anyone sharing the same memes, or vocabulary with punitive action.

Also they associate the election with this, which seems especially puzzling.
