But a real human is affected by trusting the AI. A real human might lose his/her only effective way to communicate with some people/communities who only use facebook. On the other hand, an AI cannot detect sarcasm, nonstandard quotes, and can be biased.
I know some people (even here) very much support removing and banning people for stuff they disagree with, and call all of that disinformation, but things change, you won't always be on the "right side", and then it'll be too late.
And even "sides" change... Covid is one such example, where not so long ago, you could be calling for people to wear masks to protect themselves, and with current facebook tools, your posts would be removed for misinformation and conspiracies/fearmongering about covid, because "There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly" [0]
Then a few weeks/months later "whoops", let's ban "the other side".

- 13years 5y agoIt is far beyond reasonable expectations that FB can be a neutral arbitar of all information. Not only are they not qualified, as you state even the "experts" change minds, disagree etc. Having so much power to decide or influence what people know should be a very disturbing and chilling concept of itself.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoYep. But some people still argue for FB (google, apple,...) to have that power (and more), because they believe they'll always be on the same side of "truth".
