The problem is that these companies have known for years about the problem and continue to refuse to take meaningful steps to stop it. Check out the PBS Frontline documentary “The Facebook Dilemma” from 2018. They watched what happened in Myanmar and that was years ago, for example. And remember that Twitter/Facebook said they would crack down on accounts that declared victory before the media called it, including deleting accounts. Yet there’s Trump and all of his supporters spreading this stuff all over social media and all they do is put a warning label on it. They knew this was coming. They had a chance to do something about it. And they didn’t stop it. So they’re as culpable as the Republican Party in creating our current situation. They should be regulated so this never happens again. As to the bold....it’s actually directly related. That was just a joke that I made on the boards. I also said that JDaveG was Jamaican. papachaz 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I would expect the companies that run the platform to have a better understanding of what is happening on them as they are always looking for ways to increase engagement. When I said 'we are just beginning to understand' I meant the American public at large. With social media companies you can't trust them to police themselves. They don't do this with banks. They don't do this with Wall Street companies. There's oversight. The question is how do you police them? There's too much data going through them to review everything. They have to cherry pick what to do and don't want to incur the wrath of the government.... but I think that day may be coming. Leon Troutsky 1 Link to post Share on other sites
