This is how they work now; a key right-wing news source gets its distribution algorithmically reduced by Facebook, based on a completely content-free accusation of "False News". No substance to the allegation, no right of appeal, etc.https://reclaimthenet.org/facebook-suppresses-distribution-of-fox-news-tucker-carlson/ …

Of course it wasn't banned. Just reduced. When you are smart, you don't ban things. You just reduce them. Reduced how much? By 99%? We don't know.pic.twitter.com/9ivB8gVL86

Who made this decision? Is the person who made this decision a Democrat supporter? Do they donate to the Biden campaign? Oh, it's a private company so that doesn't matter. A private company that just happens to have a massive information monopoly.

When you want to f**k someone, if you are smart about it you make it look like a coincidence. "This private company just happens to have decided to reduce your page's distribution, what a shame" Conservatives need to wise up to this game and regulate social media.

Good diagnosis - bad recommendation. Regulation is in the hands of the people who want to do exactly what's being done now and will be used to enforce this everywhere.

I think the regulation needs to be smart. Make it illegal for the tech titans to do this kind of de-ranking.

The single most valuable service there is is filtering content because content isn't any good unless you can find it A healthier marketplace for content is one where there's a generic hosting service for videos (peer to peer?) and you pay for your search engine Align incentives

You're very off base there in a way that's very easy to disprove. Takes very little time to write a script that crawls and indexes pages and stores the results and only a bit more time to put a query interface on top of that db yet no one does it - because it's not valuable
