Your reply assumes that these businesses must continue to exist at all costs, effective moderation be damned. If it’s true that they cannot afford good moderation, then maybe it’s not a sustainable business model?
I know online content platforms are wildly different than other industries, which is why these problems exist at all. We don’t seem to have good solutions yet. But we wouldn’t have any issue declaring that any other industry that couldn’t afford to do the “quality control” well enough isn’t a sustainable industry.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoIt does not: it assumes that corporations have their own interest in mind, and are kept alive at the cost of "as long as they are profitable for (most of) the owners". Whether we, the people who have to suffer them, want them to exist or not does not particularly enter into this. If that's the part we want to take aim at (and maybe we should? or maybe we shouldn't?) then that's an important but completely separate issue.
