      The elite media continues its quest to pressure tech companies into more stringently regulating speech, in the name of combating “extremism” and “hate” -- whatever that meanshttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/08/technology/youtube-radical.html …

      Obviously young people falling into YouTube sinkholes and developing wacky beliefs is a real phenomenon. But the solution is to create better YouTube content, and advance better arguments. Not purge channels/videos you dislike under the guise of “safety”

      It’s also disturbing, as a general matter, how many young people apparently form a political identity entirely by watching YouTube videos. They don’t read. They just watch stuff. That’s never going to be conducive to deep thinking, learning, and/or reasoning

      I think elite media is trying to create a moral panic around the existence of "vulnerable young men" -- who have always existed, always will exist, and always will be the demographic most susceptible to "radicalization." Only difference now is they're consuming lots of YouTube

          They cannot compete, so they destroy. Don't be fooled into thinking it's about anything more than $$$. They have found a way to lump everyone into a category to dispose of them. If the color "blue" was considered offensive, they'd call their opponents "the blue wearers".

          Socrates bemoaned the written word for the same reason. Readers can be uncritical when they just accept the written word. Reading does not ensure critical thinking, reasoning, or learning. Societies evolve, the Internet changed the way we communicate.

          I think some studies show this, but that’s true of screens in general. Reading on paper is more conducive. And even then, it depends what you read. I think we just need a better civic culture, which I don’t think we’ll get anytime soon.

          The reason radicalization is more prevalent now than in the past is primarily that we’ve reached a point where hateful people realize they can use this medium to indoctrinate receptive young minds and those young minds are less young now but still indoctrinated.

          What's crazy the Corporations are regulating what society consumes. Seems it's not only the government that can tread on you in this era. Seems like a dilemma do you want to advocate for the government to tread on corporations on behalf of the people or just do nothing. 🤔
