That sounds like any algorithimic implementation would be doomed to spread misinformation out of a misguided sense of fairness. It sounds very "teach the controversy".
Falsehood is not equal to fact. Favoring the truth but expecting even a human process would be foolish, an algorithic one even more so.
- aeternum 7y agoThe problem with that line of reasoning is it assumes we have some oracle that can tell the difference between falsehood and fact. Much important societal change starts out as a fringe theory. Remember that for much of history the idea that women should not vote was considered a relatively undisputed fact. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, society has never been successful in trusting some oracle or government body to determine what is truth. Why do we believe/trust the large tech companies to succeed in this?
