This feels pretty convincing to me.
It also feels to me like we shouldn't have to reverse-engineer platforms to deduce whether they are pushing an agenda... If they aren't doing any interfering then they should simply put out an official statement clarifying that.
- josephcsible 2y agoAre you saying that if they just assert they're not doing any interfering, we should uncritically take them at their word?
- zug_zug 2y agoNo, I'm saying that if they aren't even willing to assert innocence of manipulating what trends then we certainly shouldn't presume innocence. I'd like for them to testify under oath about how they alter what is trending, then I'd like for us to independently verify those those results to the best of our ability.
- josephcsible 2y agoThat I agree with, but the way your first post was worded, it sounded like the opposite.
