I think algorithmic detection of agenda pushing is where the gold lies. I mean let's add to profiles "detected agendas: Russian state policy/US state policy/Vote for Democrats/Vote for Republicans/Buy bitcoin/whatever". There are probably some (a lot of?) caveats, but still.

- cat199 9y agoYes, lets suppress actual popular movements because they deviate from the norm and therefore could be suspicious.
- hwillis 9y agoNon sequiter. Interest and promotion in a movement != pushing an agenda. In the same way, interest in topics on reddit != spamming upvotes. It's literally the exact same process of looking for suspicious behavior and then moderating it. Of course, reddit doesn't do that either nowadays. But the point stands: Blocking bot behavior does not necessarily mean blocking real users.
- talmand 9y agoI would like to see an automated system that correctly knows the difference between interest/promotion of a movement and pushing an agenda. My level of interest may be different than your level of interest; one of which may be considered suddenly pushing an agenda. Also, what's wrong with pushing an agenda exactly? Are we to ban politicians and opinion writers?
- r721 9y agoHow is that suppression? I propose to show publicly the result of an algorithmic process which for now could be done by a human with enough time on their hands.
- Ygg2 9y agoYeah, just look how Google's Youtube extremist detection algorithm works.
