> 1) loud extremists on all sides of the political spectrum
One side controls and puts rules for the entire conversation, that's the issue.
> Regular people, the majority of them with bland moderate opinions, are largely absent from all of that
Yet they consume that content, that's why it shouldn't be controlled by a biased party.
- nikitaga 4y ago> One side controls and puts rules for the entire conversation, that's the issue. Moderation bias is only a minor issue in practice, compared to the real issues that I mentioned. Twitter is still a cesspool of both left wing and right wing propaganda despite your claim that one side "controls the entire conversation". > why it shouldn't be controlled by a biased party So... 1) You have an unbiased party in mind, and this party is unbiased because it's magically incorruptible in principle, not because it currently holds no power worth corrupting. or 2) You claim that no party should control twitter at all (aka free speech absolutism), and have a magical solution to ward off extremism and deliberate attacks and bots. Either way, it's irresponsible to keep such groundbreaking discoveries from the world, please do share.
