No but seriously. How do we turn off algorithms on 75% of the Internet? I'm so serious. You can't really combat shit when the worst people in the world are leaning on the algorithms for everything.

No platform should profit from racism.
Tech firms cannot keep fuelling division while avoiding responsibility for the harm caused. It's time for real accountability and meaningful action. Solidarity with the players and fans who had to endure this hate during the World Cup.

It is so profoundly frustrating the way social media algorithms rewarding outrage and bad behavior has put much of the world into a fascism tailspin. It doesnt feel like hyperbole to say that Facebook introducing the algorithmic feed may be the single most cataclysmic domino fall of this century.
Pew's findings paint a concerning picture of the online news landscape. The widespread dominance of conservative male voices in the news content creator world tilts public discourse toward reactionary right wing narratives, which are then boosted by algorithms that reward sensationalism and outrage
The majority of news influencers are conservative men, study finds

love to live in a world where all my personal data is relentlessly harvested so that megacorps can feed it into their all-knowing algorithms and yet somehow the end result is that algorithm going “we think you’d like Clarkson’s Farm”

We live in a world where we can listen to only what we want to listen to. How on earth am I supposed to hear this? If a country song ever made it into my Spotify algorithms I would drive to their offices and burn them down. They know this, and shield me appropriate.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Elite like to fret about “echochambers” from online choices & algorithms, but much bigger information divide is our corporate media’s break with reality, treating Trump as serious person but refusing to take his threats seriously, while rest of world knows he is lunatic doing terrible things to US.
This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record)
