  • how would it lead to less good stuff?

    Sorry, this isnt just about banning twitter because they dont like it. This happening because Twitter is boosting all manner of hate speech, misinformation, disgusting content and calling for violence against vulnerable people. Its an unmoderated far right propoganda hose. Free societies should ban nazi propaganda actually, we know what happens when you tolerate this stuff or brand it as “just another opinion.”
















  • “he was met mainly with inaction because, he says, of fears about the amount of work involved or the cost”

    No kidding, engagement drives their whole business model. And nothing engages and addicts people more than violent, hateful shit.

    And its not just young men (though they are more heavily targeted) the algorithm can hijack almost any viewing pattern and steer it in a violent, xenophobic direction in a remarkably short time.

    They arent going to change the algorithm unless serious action is taken by government regulation, or something (which is not a promising thought)
