“he was met mainly with inaction because, he says, of fears about the amount of work involved or the cost”

No kidding, engagement drives their whole business model. And nothing engages and addicts people more than violent, hateful shit.

And its not just young men (though they are more heavily targeted) the algorithm can hijack almost any viewing pattern and steer it in a violent, xenophobic direction in a remarkably short time.

They arent going to change the algorithm unless serious action is taken by government regulatin.
