The wrongful death lawsuit against several social media companies for allegedly contributing to the radicalization of a gunman who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, will be allowed to proceed.
I agree. It’s important to remember the only “conspiracy” is making money and keeping people on the platform. That said, it will cause people to go down rabbit holes. The solution isn’t as simple as “show people content they disagree with” because they either ignore it or it creates another rabbit hole. For example, it would mean that progressives start getting bombarded with Tim Pool videos. I don’t believe Tim is intentionally “alt right” but that’s exactly why his videos are the most dangerous. They consist of nothing but conservative rage bait with a veneer of progressiveness that allows his viewers to believe they aren’t being manipulated.
