hey, speaking as someone whose democracy was absolutely murdered in silicon valley:
ban conservative and algorithm driven profit-motivated media, social and otherwise. this may include youtube.
ban large language models and their outputs. this is the chief tool of fascists used to create their propaganda and murder the concept of truth.
make your (great?) grandfather proud; kill some fucking nazis wherever they poke their vile heads up.
I genuinely believe that if we had done this, we would be… still fucked, but fucked by neoliberals, who leave a wad of cash on the bed rather than stabbing us so they can cum. please don’t repeat our mistakes. maybe also fortify your southern border. sorry.
Social media and its ability to boost false or suggestive narratives should be held accountable. Forums have always existed and those with a level of moderation have always provided a better experience for the users and typically developed good information sharing. Now that the moderation is effectively the wizard of oz, he’s pushing buttons for likes, not value to the conversation.
it’s not just the ability to boost false or suggestive narratives.
every single major media platform out of silicon valley has a procedurally refined algorithm to turn your son brother cousin etc into a nazi. this is on purpose. use a fresh OS install from a fresh connection, and go to youtube. search for the most anodyne shit, but especially things a boy might be interested in-lego builds, space ships, tips for running faster. within a few hours of suggested videos, which do auto-play if I remember right, you’ll be seeing fuckers like andrew tate and jordan peterson. within about two days of letting it run, without clicking anything but ‘yes im still watching’ you’ll be seeing dudes talk about “BLOOD AND SOIL!” and why your next door neighbor’s car breaking down means we must exterminate the jews. facebook does this. instagram does this. tiktok does this since a couple months ago. this isn’t just some fluke of an unconsidered system set loose in the wild having bad effects-this is deliberate and engineered.
they target old people and young women too, but it’s not as simple and not as well refined. these are attacks. these systems are attacks on your society. they are actively trying to turn people, and young men are the most vulnerable group, into nazis, into useful idiots and potential stochastic terrorists. this is not hypothetical. the perpetrators of recent genocides have talked about how useful a tool it is.
these systems are attacks, and they do have a body count.
