Key words are "editorial" and "secret sauce". Platforms should not be liable for dangerous content which slips through the cracks, but certainly should be when their user-personalized algorithms mess up. Can't have your cake and eat it to.
- krapp 2y agoDangerous content slipping through the cracks and the algorithms messing up is the same thing. There is no way for content to "slip through the cracks" other than via the algorithm.
- Jensson 2y agoYou can view the content via direct links or search, recommendation algorithms isn't the only way to view it. If you child porn that gets shared via direct links then that is bad even if nobody can see it, but it is much much worse if you start recommending that to people as well.
- krapp 2y agoEverything is related. Search results are usually generated based on recommendations, and direct links usually influence recommendations, or include recommendations as related content. It's rarely if ever going to be the case that there is some distinct unit of code called "the algorithm" that can be separated and considered legally distinct from the rest of the codebase.
