My take on it is that opaque, individualized content recommendation algorithms should be treated the same as human editors selecting the content in question. Something Facebook-sized that only shows users a reverse chronological feed of things they manually subscribed to wouldn't be nearly so problematic.
- Jensson 2y agoAs it is opaque we can't even know if it is human editors behind the scene making all the decisions instead of algorithms. I heard Tiktok uses a lot of human judges to decide what content should go viral, when you do that why do section 230 still apply?
- Zak 2y agoThat's acting enough like a publisher that 230 might not apply. If they decide to make something illegal viral, it could lead to interesting litigation.
