“Everything in moderation.” Too much of anything is bad. Including agreement.
Any group with similar ideas inevitably moves tward the most extreme form of that idea over time. Without people who disagree, that are able pull on the Overton Window preventing it’s movement too far, the group will become out of touch with reality.
So yah, echo chambers breed extremist views. And are a bad thing. Disagreement and debate is an important part of mental health for everyone.
That’s what I was thinking.
I’m pretty sure FUTO isn’t the only one either.
This doesn’t seem like new tech.
The the Firefox reader view was all it took for me. Your browser probably has similar.
American social media platforms creating an environment where propaganda and misinformation flourish and refusing to take action against it has the same net effect as TikTok altering internal algorithm.
Targeted intent vs general apathy is a massive difference.
That could be. It sounds plausible. Do you have any studies?
What intelligence agency?
NCRI is a social media research group.
Lots of people think the US social media platforms do that. But none of the scientific studies have been able to show it.
The US companies are all purely driven by engagement, to maximize profit. The most effective source of that engagement, changes from person to person. But it’s most commonly what you might call “Rage Bait”.
Twiter’s recent bend toward the right, is primarily self selection of it’s users. As the left… left… the platform, the pool of available content shifted right; Causing even more to leave. Unless you have some paper I haven’t seen.
And Facebook selling data, is entirely different and unrelated. Nobody (no lawmakers) care about that.
Yah. Whatever happens, TikTok will NOT be leaving the US market.
Not quite. TikTok has been shown to tweak their algorithm against criticism of China. That’s the real reason for the concern. Their ability and willingness to purposefully manipulate people.
Again. Not a TikTok ban. A ByteDance ban.
If BytDance sells, TikTok stays.
Truly free markets suck. The inevitably become dominated by a small number of monopolies, who fuck over everyone else as hard as possible every day …
I do not miss having two driveways with 2 feet of snow to clear before 7am, so we can get to work.
Nope. I wouldn’t nitpick this situation or that.
That one time I tried it, I realized that when I click away from the tab I don’t care if see the video anymore. Listening to the audio is all I want in that moment.
Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch is totally annoying.
I also tested it once, and turned it back off immediately.
They also suggest splitting off Android and sharing data. But that seems barely a start. If you’re going through the effort to take them down, take them all the way down.
They should split off nearly every major product and service. Make it a couple dozen separate companies.
A search index isn’t a public facing search engine or service.
They’re building a common database for them to both use, as well as others.
So trying to beat Brave or any other search provider, isn’t the goal of this project.
It’s about creating a new index, Brave, or Bing, or other search providers could use if they wanted.
I wanted to read it. I did.
But seriously! How much work would it take for somone, anyone! Even the writer! Just read over the article once before before pushing the send button!
The very first letter of the very first word (only a two letter word) is wrong.
“Un an interview that’s”
I can’t do it.
I thought that what he literally called it. Public Beta
It’s not a good sign when you have to pay people to use your product.
