THE FACTS
1
Blackboxed algorithms
Little to no transparency into how content is served with even less controls on how to opt-out or curate what you're seeing.
2
Optimized for outrage
Anything that gets clicks or drives fervid commentary gets sent to the very top of the feeds. We need to find what unites us, not divides us.
3
Bot interference is running amok
Social media is under siege from bot activity. This will continue to increase as deployment gets cheaper and smarter. The dead internet is close, but not inevitable. Bots can vote faster, more often, and with more strategic precision than human users. If bots can influence the vote, the vote no longer represents people.
