This is a point of concern I have that I rarely see others bring up. The problem with A is that it creates a loop hole as all the next government official has to do is pick a host that aligns with their own views to communicate to the mass

Does that actually work? If they create some complex AI and then show us the trained model, it doesn't really give much insight into the AI doing the recommendation. You could potentially test certain articles to see if it is recomme

Apologies, I didn't communicate what I meant clearly. I meant that our customers would accept us blaming human error easier than they would accept us saying it is by design.

Thanks. It seems obvious in hindsight. I wonder if I had the correct word in my head but my fingers typed the wrong word. That's happened a few times when dealing with words I rarely type. Sadly too late to edit.

It reminds me of older electric cars. They worked. They could get you around. But they did so at higher price, slower speeds, or other factors that a consumer wasn't willing to pay for. Thus they were regulated to novelty items tha

And yet sites that aggregate illegal content are taken down by the government all the time, despite hosting none of it themselves. If you filter the wrong way, the government will hold you liable.

There is the solution of taking away power from the government to fix this. You would need to limit the punishment of people to be the same as corporations. For example, if a corporation commits negligence that kills people and gets fined
