Read the article. Not the stupid headline. She made an experiment where it shows quite clearly how the networks take problematic people and make them worse by bombarding them with constant misogynistic content.
This fits perfectly with the stories about Facebook. They tune the algorithm for retention not to keep people informed. As a result it makes them more extreme in their views. We might have fewer terrorists, shooting and rape if they just used a normal clean news feed instead of targeting everything.
- cortexio 5y agoi think u read too many "you-must-be-angry-at-this" type of articles. Poeple are not "misogynistic", nor is there much "misogynistic" content online except ofcourse if you label everything as "misogynistic". Most of the times when someone calls something "misogynistic" it's just a person that has a different opinion. As for the bullying, kids will be kids. Parents should teach their kids to be nice and teach that if people are assholes, you can always log-off facebook and look for nicer people/places. #we-live-in-a-society
- sk2020 5y agoFacebook causes terrorism, murder, and rape? What evidence was the basis of that conclusion? I’m guessing the solution is a global network of unaccountable mandarins to institute a global Clockwork Orange style brainwashing campaign targeting people with the audacity of having bad opinions? In the populations where this has been implemented, say North Korea, China, Cambodia, Russia and friends, were the populations worse or better for the experience?
