Comment on Labor plans crackdown on social media algorithms as Taylor says he’s ‘deeply sceptical’
Ilandar@lemmy.today 3 days agoThis is the equivalent of those people that turn up in threads discussing generative artificial intelligence and try to correct everyone’s use of “AI” as shorthand for that specific technology. It’s pedantic grandstanding with no real purpose - everyone actually involved in the discussion understands what they’re talking about.

I disagree. Legislation is the scenario where specific language is most important. If social media platforms can prove that the law is impossible to follow as written, they are much more likely to nullify any benefit it might have intended.
Also, I think you overestimate the average person’s understanding of what an algorithm is.

When drafting legislation you’re right, but she is not actively drafting legislation, she is proposing an idea to the public.
Good communication means tailoring your language to your audience.
