Macron is 100% right about Big Tech algorithms crushing supposed “free speech.” You don’t even have to think about offensive or controversial opinions here.
On Facebook, all of your friends are effectively shadowbanned – buried – behind an unending stream of AI-generated garbage videos. You don’t have freedom of any speech in a room where a loudspeaker is blaring garbage at you 24/7.
I can’t even get a feed from friends on fb. It’s all groups. Which sure, I want a few groups to coordinate on some stuff, but I want the option of a chronological list of friend posts, which is what fb was all about.
I heard it was changed because of that lawsuit by the justice department accusing them of being a monopoly. They controlled all of the market for like friend networks, but are just one player in general content, so they changed the site to be general content for the lawsuit, to give the courts a wink wink excuse to rule for them, (and I’m sure later have their proxy sell those justices’ in laws that property in the country on the blue ribbon trout stream in the foothills for a fraction of the market rate, or the like.)
One wonders if they will change it back, I have no control over my feed, and don’t even log in unless I need marketplace. Waste of time, it’s glitchy, getting worse, they forced changes making it virtually worthless, their moderation targets people that aren’t doing anything wrong for inexplicable secret reasons and there is no one to appeal or talk to, etc.
Is there no fediverse alternative for them? It might be the hardest to overcome the bias from everyone already being on it, but as it’s value is near zero for communicating to your contacts it might be time.
