Very fair, the persecution of Jack Ma was very interesting. Haven’t heard of what happened in Vietnam though?
You shouldn’t need to be authoritarian to crack down on these systems though. I really liked what I saw Lena Khan doing in the US, what Brazil did to twitter or what Julie Inman Grant did here in Australia
Sorry if you replied to this already, but I wanted to add that what I meant to say is that they hide behind the accountability we give them
I get what you’re trying to say, they can incentivise accuracy and they do at least prompt people to be more accurate lest the community holds them to account. But what i don’t like is that there is no standard that the notes are held to and there is no accountability if either the original post or the community note are wrong.
I also don’t like that the social media publishers are pushing the fact checkers onto the community to be done for free, but at the end of the day they own the community note and can delete it if they don’t like it. We are doing their work for them and taking accountability away from them
Lawsuits. As it stands the US supreme court is that social media companies can not be held liable for the things their users publish. Fact checking companies can be sued, news companies can be sued (see fox news and the voting machines lawsuit), Facebook can’t be held responsible in the same way
I hate community notes, it’s a cost free way of fact checking with no accountability.
I also hate these big international tech companies. Forget too big to fail, these are too big to change. We are all techno peasants and they are our tech lords
and they make fun of Xi and criticise their government just fine <
Did you forget about Hong Kong already? What happened to 50 years of " One Country - Two Systems"
Presumably if it’s Russian it would be quite large or if it’s small it’s piloted by some one relatively close on the ground
Do they actually? I mean why can’t I sell my days. If I quit the big tech companies and paid for the equivalent services, could I sell that data at a auction? Not having a go at you, just wondering how much our individual data is actually worth.
This. This is how you fight trump
As an Australian we are so sorry, I had no idea her fuckery had spread that far. At least you can be fairly certain her own kids will probably piss on her grave
Definitely a typo, my bad
100%, that’s always been the case since the printing press was invented, but at some point you need to know that hate speech isn’t free speech
Hmmm, maybe if that bottle of sugar is undermining democracy it shouldn’t be allowed. A democracy needs to protect itself from itself
The government is allowed to mess with cokes recipe because we don’t want it to be too bad for people’s health. I don’t see why we shouldn’t mess with algorithms to protect our personal and national health
How many qantas shares do I need to buy to get a free politician?
Sorry, I meant during the recent election
So is everyone they’re competing against…
I’ve been hate listening to his podcast. A lot of what he says would be considered pretty eft leaning. But then a lot of it is conspiracy minded. Honestly Lauren to his podcast, it’s pretty unbearable, but he hates the elites as much as anyone here. It probably goes some way to understanding why trump won
When you stop to think, they really don’t offer us anything other than a named place we all agreed to meet
