I have a friend and an ex-coworker who work at Meta. I've asked them about things like this in the past, their responses have boiled down to something like this:
If Facebook's algorithms reduced millions of micro-aggressions but simultaneously enabled the death of one person, then they're probably still in the green. It's like public policy-making. There are tradeoffs everywhere, and somebody will always draw the short straw.
- p0pcult 4y agoI'll take the world of microaggressions, thanks. There's a reason they're called microaggressions.
- darkwizard42 4y agoIf we are just using words, then another saying "death by a thousand paper cuts" comes to mind. I think the parent has a point. Not sure I agree, but there are many ways to argue for or against.
- p0pcult 4y agoTry recovering from death vs. try recovering from a microagression. One is impossible; the other should have bounced off immediately.
