Yeah, that's not going to solve twitter, facebook, instagram, etc. I'll make my position clear: many parties try to influence people, and quite a few of them do so with grave consequences. The swing to extreme right politics cannot be seen separate from internet interference. In the words of the article: it's already not "technology serving people", but rather "controlling" them. If extreme right (or left) parties come to power, your freedom of speech and privacy is over. So it's either moderate moderation, or authoritarian moderation. And if it's up to me, it's not your choice. | ||

> Yeah, that's not going to solve twitter, facebook, instagram, etc. It sounds like that would precisely be a solution to the problems of using these platforms. | ||

LOL And here, folks, is the problem. This person is absolutely certain the far "right" is the problem ... not his beloved echo chamber censoring totalitarian "left". | ||

> The swing to extreme right politics cannot be seen separate from internet interference Correct, specifically, Elon removed widespread (and thoroughly documented) left wing interference on Twitter. Unfortunately he did eventually add back his own (in the form of boosting his own account), but it's much freer than it was, and for whatever reason Zuck decided to follow suit. | ||
