This is why I never answer the phone

How is this even patentable? There is pre-existing technology. I mean... even your average dacades=old phone bot will connect you to a person if you start shouting at it and some used to hang up if you were abusive. And the idea has been a part of all kinds of various media over the years. Shit, even Seinfeld has a joke about Kramer pretending to be movie phone.

What is the novelty of that? Did they invent mood, voice tone, computers, or coding?

Also it's against the public good. So shouldn't be protected by gov't. We don't need Minority Report childish "tech" deciding how to censor, not only our speech, but our tone of voice?

Doubt this patent could stand up to scrutiny. Is this all Meta can come up with? They better stick to buying up companies.

To the upvoters. Why? Why do you think this is worthy of our time and attention?

I downvoted this article cuz this patent is unworthy of a post.

Mood detection has huge privacy implications.
