        I would absolutely recommend keeping young kids off YouTube, or allowing it only supervised, and talking and educating them about it so that they’re ready for the time they’re too old for that. The damage potential is real.https://twitter.com/chick_in_kiev/status/1036382300391596032 …

        This rancid fucking filth is making money. Lots of money. And it's directed at your kids. Watch the fuck out for what your teens are watching on Youtube. Check their histories. Talk to them about it. YouTube sure isn't going to enforce it's anti-hate-speech clause.

        Replying to @RandySavarese @zeynep

        Attention is the most precious thing we have to give. And a business model that relies on delivering eyeballs to advertisers tends inevitably to find ever more pernicious ways of hijacking our precious attention.

        It would be helpful to point out every time you comment on YouTube that it is owned by by Google/Alphabet—the “don’t be evil” tech monopoly.

        rikta Retweeted Guillaume Chaslot

        More on this from an ex-googler on divisive media hosted on YouTube during the Brexit referendum. https://twitter.com/gchaslot/status/1036323806242066432?s=19 … In the thread, he claims checks and balances are being created, but it seems like YT is still playing catchup.

        Guillaume Chaslot @gchaslot
        The YouTube algorithm I worked on heavily promoted Brexit, because divisiveness is efficient for watch time, and watch time leads to ads. Brits deserve deserve to know what @YouTube's AI promoted by the millions during the referendum. Without transparency there is no democracy https://twitter.com/chrisinsilico/status/1036177605920219137 …

        #YouTube is the water that we swim in, and we must recognize what damage @YouTube's algorithm-based curation-set-to-polarize is doing to the viewing public.
