Maybe there should be!
- jakelazaroff 6y agoI disagree!
- loopz 6y agoEven if their algorithms threaten to destabilize society by amplification? Bear in mind these platforms come with many forms of moderation already. So I believe we're mostly talking about a spectrum of what mechanisms there are and their consequences. Ie. is it OK for the entire planet to bully anyone in public until they lose everything? This is actually hard to prevent, if no mechanisms to do so are in place, while communication is as "free" as possible.
- jakelazaroff 6y agoUltimately, if a platform is big enough that its policies have society-destabilizing consequences, I would much prefer to see it broken up than reined in. Benevolent dictators are still dictators.
