"Changing the algorithm to make it benevolent rather than polarising is easy for those who control the platforms."
What bubble does the author live in that tells hen that "benevolence" is easy?
The values of the cultures most of us have regular contact with are very different.

- dkh 2y agoIt is easy in a physical and technical sense, and it also probably be easy in the other senses if the power to make that decision was held by a different group of people than those who currently do. Nobody is saying that it is "easy" to mean that there's no friction preventing it and that it's astounding that it hasn't been done. On the contrary--the fact that certain beneficial things are very easy in a logistical sense but incredibly difficult in a power/cultural/social structure sense is the core of the problem. And it's worth reminding people about.
