Banning algorithms and paid amplification is not denying you information. You can still decide for yourself who to follow, or actively look for information, actively listen to people. The difference is that it becomes your choice.
- vintermann 1y agoWell, this is about bringing back creators banned for (in YouTube's eyes) unwarranted beliefs stemming from distrust of political or medical authorities, and promoting such distrust. They weren't banned because of paid amplification. I don't quite understand how the Ressa quote in the beginning of this thread justifies banning dissent for being too extreme. The algorithms are surely on YouTube and Facebook (and Ressa's!) side here, I'm sure they tried to downrank distrust-promoting content as much as they dared and had capabilities to, limited by e.g. local language capabilities and their users' active attempts to avoid automatic suppression - something everyone does these days.
- mensetmanusman 1y agoJust regulate the algorithm market. Let people see, decide, share, compare
- nradov 1y agoWhat is the "algorithm market"? Where can I buy one algorithm?
- mensetmanusman 1y agoIsn’t one yet, that would be the roll of government to create a market on these large platforms.
