    I have to write this long-form. The conversation we need about that Pelosi video on Facebook/Youtube isn't really about regulating speech. It's like we're discussing the spacing of watering stations in the age of cars. We need to talk emissions and walkability not bridles.

        The conversation is like, "Well, what sort of mechanism are we supposed to use that won't harm freedom of expression?" instead of "Well, should this infrastructure exist in its current form if we can't actually control it or it's terribly harmful?"

        You can't make a Ministry of Truth without oppression. The solution needs to start and end with critical thinking, not on regulation.

        I definitely agree with the last sentence, but doesn't the second sentence only work because horses aren't part of cars? Like, after we found cars were useful we by and large stopped riding horses, but the speech regulation problems aren't going away I don't think...

        Thank you. This is the worst analogy I have ever seen Zeynep use. Primarily this incident was about degradation of civility between #1 & #3. A demonstration of what norms Trump's GOP will go to defend their ideology.

        We want to pretend the algorithms are magic. But they are written by people and it takes little time for us to guess on what are the variables to best exploit and manipulate the system. If the humans fail to intervene they can’t pretend that the algorithm is the problem, they are

        This is going to take misinformation to a new level, in places like Pk, photoshop is tough to explain, video morphing is going to sound like rocket science to them. This is literally the Black Mirror.

        The argument that free speech is in any way involved, beyond being anachronistic, is at its base stupid, disingenuous, or more likely both.

        And how do you detect which video has been messed with, and which not?
