This is why algorithms, filter bubbles and “AI” in its current state is a very very bad thing. It can be gamed as evidenced. The complicity of the platforms is beyond me, why aren’t they DOING something about it? Don’t expect anything from TikTok though - it’s a chinese company and no doubt that some user information and user behaviour information is being exfiltrated to the CCP. Also their filter bubble is tuned for soft power and show CCP in a good light which is despicable. Don’t even register on that platform! Twitter for example, lacks any incentive to do something about it since any user growth is a good thing in their view but detrimental to the platform as a whole. Misinformation and state-sponsored mass networks of fake users is the norm these days and it’s sad.
- ausudhz 5y agoLol OP says don't turn this politically, first comment talks about CCP ahahaha Like the west has no propaganda, suureeeee
- cyber_kinetist 5y agoI would go as far to say that the neoliberal powers of the US was (and still is) the best at propaganda in the entire world (much more so than China and Russia), seeing they were able to win the ideological game for decades while losing at everything else that’s actually tangible (economic development, infrastructure, welfare, etc…)
- ausudhz 5y agoYes but to reach level of understanding you need a thought process, which most of the people lack. Easier to just way CCP=evil without actually contextualizing like the parent comment
- simmerup 5y agoWestern propaganda uses the carrot while the autocracies of the world use the stick. Of course the west will win people over easier…
