https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message There is very little point in trying to 'fix' content streams by filtering, censoring, or 'making them safe'. The content is just bait, the consequences you are attempting to avoid by filtering or improving the stream of content are inevitable and unavoidable so long as you sell your attention to that content provider at all. The mechanisms that are used to massage you into consuming more and more of that media stream are the things you should be concerned about, not what the specific message encoded into any specific piece. Example: You scroll tiktok for an hour. You might see pro hamas videos, anti hamas videos. You might just see videos of puppies. Whatever the the algorithm shows you, the effect of the specific videos it shows you is so small as to be irrelevant compared to the way the application causes rewards to be triggered in your brain and encourages you to continue to use the app. Worrying about the details of specific videos it shows you is like worrying about whether your Oxycontin chewables are cherry or blue raspberry. I love that this is demonstrated by the filter completely redacting literally every tweet in the example.
