If they know the social media algorithms are harmful why don't they deal with that? Like Facebook tried to see if they could just make people sad by tweaking their algorithm (they could) and no one faced consequences.
The answer is money and corruption, I expect.
the answer is making it harder to access to the counter narratives about palestine and future crimes against humanity that keep going viral on social medi.
Because we use those algorithms to destabilize goverments and steal the election domestically too.
We can't just stop doing that.
