  Companies weaponizing algorithms for profit is different than governments weaponizing algorithms for all sorts of far worse reasons.

  If you can’t see that, you’re a bloody idiot.

    You don’t think meta and xhitter are weaponizing algorithms for Republicans? They might not be the whole government, but they are now in power after coordinating their hate filled messaging and misinformation.

      Meta, no. Twitter, yes.

      Twitter should be banned as well at this point. They have absolutely weaponized it, but not for government purposes, it’s for Daddy Elon’s purposes.

      Meta is just allowing the hate content, they aren’t prioritizing it to all users or something. My feed certainly doesn’t contain any of it.
