Maybe we should blame people who produce horrible content instead?

  In many cases, that's a shitty, low-paying job too. https://restofworld.org/2021/the-chinese-content-farms-behind-factory-tiktok/ https://restofworld.org/2021/the-chinese-content-farms-behin... Same for the folks at click farms boosting those pieces of content. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/02/click-farms-appearance-online-popularity https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/02/click-far... It's fascinating to me how many people really want to blame the cogs in the machine over the designers and owners of it.

    Those aren't creating traumatising content though. Totally different thing.

      Then I'm at a loss as to what the parent poster wanted; acts of child porn and murder and whatnot are already illegal and fairly regularly punished. Those folks get plenty of (fair) blame.

        Yeah their comment made no sense really. Maybe they wanted to focus more on catching the perpetrators rather than filtering out their effects?
