Tech giants like Facebook and YouTube have created toxic algorithms that push people to extreme content, littered with hate speech and lies. It’s one of the ways groups spreading disinformation are able to grow by the tens of thousands in a matter of hours.
This latest selling point of democracy, championed by the 21 century techno class of myth makers, is the peddling of the bifurcated democratic notion and monetization of “free speech” that trumps individual justice, freedom and safety.
Big money in those algorithms.
Big hurt for democracy!
