I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Well obviously, anything internet-voted on or user-generated will be messed with (Just ask Hummer who had their user generated ads tell the world how terrible they were for the environment). When you let the internet vote they will name a boat "Boaty McBoatface", and countless other pranks.
I'm not sure there's a much better way to gather colloquial language from teenagers, unless you try it out with select teenage users only, in exchange for discounts on Microsoft gear. You know like "Oh dad's buying you this phone, would you like 10% discount and you chat with Tay sometimes?".
They're looking to gather data, for free, and that's when human-kind naturally start messing shit up: "oh, I'm giving you something for nothing? Here have my lulziest trolls. At least now I am amused." Everyone is in it for themselves, after all.
Of course, I should have checked before finishing this article, but of course there's a "JusticeForTay" hashtag rolling along right now. The funniest ones are asking other chatbots about what happened to Tay.

Timeline for the tape, just to be clear:
Jun. 24, 2015 Gawker won a suit against the FBI and got to read the investigation around the tapes.
Jul 2 2015 The Hulk Trial delayed - it was set to begin Monday that week.
Jul 24, 2015 The National Enquirer (linked in article above) released the "racist rant" tape. WWE responded by terminating Hulk Hogan's contract.
As we say in Swedish "det där var en händelse som ser ut som en tanke" (That was an event that looks like a thought). Denton gets FBI files (including tapes, as Denton says that's when he knew the reason for the suit), and then tapes mysteriously find their way to other rags. Now, the AP and other press filed to unseal all the sealed files and once that's done we will presumably know what tapes came from where.
Luddite!
Thanks for the Firefox firewall tip, Limburger.
Ho-kay.
I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on this site. If Terry Bollea knew he was being taped, and that tape was rights secured by Gawker for publication, where's the model release? Anything else is The Fappening, you know when J-Lo's nude photographs leaked out onto the web she was aware that she was being photographed, that was spank-bank material for her then boyfriend. The copyright would be owned by the photographer (either the boyfriend or J-lo, I'm not sure if they were selfies), but for publication the model rights need to be secured as well. Oh, and if you're producing adult content such as documenting sexually explicit acts on film, you gotta keep a record of everyone and their contracts at the ready when you start distributing that film. That's not your argument, is it? I didn't think so.
Don't forget Florida has a revenge porn law against "sexual cyberharassment", and while that won't apply retroactively in Terry Bollea's case, I kind of wish it did because everyone seems to forget the emotional damage Heather, the non-celebrity, is suffering from this. She testified that they weren't aware that they were being filmed, and once again this is key. It's a secretly recorded sex act, which is exactly the sort of stuff people go to jail for. For some bizarre reason Gawker is turning this into a first amendment issue, when there are already laws on the books preventing creeper shots, spycameras in dressing rooms and secret sex tapings in bedrooms.
To those arguing about the "chilling effect" this might have on the first amendment, have you considered the opposite? The no holds-barred effect it could have on revenge-porn kings if publishing sex & nude pics you gather from an anonymous source is suddenly legal?
