While I appreciate your point on private companies, these corporations (FaceBook, YouTube) have become so big & powerful they are in themselves like governments. Think about it. Twitter & Facebook seems to have been intertwined w/ politics a lot lately (Cambridge Analytica, etc).
Exactly. The people repeating the oblivious cliche "they are private companies they have a right, period", as if there is no big problem or that principle somehow solves the problem, have become quite tedious.
What do you believe the solution is? I agree it is a huge issue. But these companies need to make money, not piss off advertisers, and keep shareholders happy.
When you kick off somebody who draws in a huge number of eyeballs for advertising, there is far more than mere rational market forces at work.
P.S. Alas I don't know of a good solutions, only a couple bad solutions that may or may not be good enough: (1) decentralized social ntworks, which being open source tend to be user hostile (2) laws protecting property rights in the investments of social ntwrk users
I'm struggling here. I want so much to adhere to universal free speach across all platforms, but what's wrong with centralized platforms curating content to agreed conditions and decentralized platforms with zero censorship. Users can choose/vote which they like best.
