The big tech companies are essentially quasi-governments unto themselves at this point - the problem is their decisions are driven by maximizing ad revenue, user engagement and profit growth. That’s not the set of incentives you want when deciding what millions regard as truth.
The basic problem is that social media creators and companies are rewarded for having more extreme and untrue content. The goal should be to change or balance the incentives. Tech, government, media and NGOs need to collaborate on this to support fact-supported journalism.
still so strange to think that over 90% of my life if I saw someone wearing a mask in public I would think they are terminally ill or something of the sort & now it’s the most “normal” thing to see. We live in an ever-so-changing world.
