Shall we play “Unreasonably evil” or “ Criminally negligent”.
Let’s head to the article!
The verdict is in! Looks like we landed on “ Possibly criminally negligent”
“Last year, an external audit commissioned by Meta found that while the company was routinely using algorithmic censorship to delete Arabic posts, the company had no equivalent algorithm in place to detect “Hebrew hostile speech” like racist rhetoric and violent incitement. “
Lovely. All this bodes well for upcoming elections as well...
Social media has been under scrutiny for this kind of shit for a while, and even more-so since 1/6. How is that that almost 3 years later they still can't figure it out??
Facebook and Twitter seem determined to be the match that lights the powder keg.
The alt-right failed at creating their own social media services, but they've succeeded in subverting the existing major ones.
bUt We'Re NeUtRaL..
None of these social media companies give a single FUCK.
They are there to take money and fuck everything else
Why wouldn't they? It's been proven over and over that they're free to manipulate public opinion in favor of authoritarian and fascist ideas with zero repercussions whatsoever and their users refuse to leave the platform. And anyone who says they're appalled by their actions and continues to use the platform isn't really as upset as they say they are.
