Comment on Misogyny and Violent Extremism: Can Big Tech Fix the Glitch?

I think that the only point you can hold against the big tech is that they are profiting from it. They provide one platform to disseminate but it is not that suche ideas need a social network to spread. Hitler had not social networks and like him every war/discrimination act against one group or another up until, say, 20 years ago did not need a social network.

We can agree that maybe a social network is easier and the dissemination is faster, but in itself a social network is not strictly needed.

You want to fix the problem ? Fix the people on both sides, it is the only option

On both sides of what? What are you even talking about? And what other media, exactly, is providing not only a public mouthpiece to, but also driving steady streams of traffic directly toward, unabashed misogynists and bigots? I’ll wait… 🙄

You can definitely take your dogwhistles and white supremacist apologism and fuck right off with it tho 😁

  The misogynist and the peope who think to have some special right just because they are from $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY

  TV for one, or you are saying that channels like Fo New are harmless ?
  But more generally every media is suitable to spread misinformation, some better than other, and I agree that currently social media are better at the “work”, but it is not that before social media we have not misinformations, misogyny and violent extremism.
  
  Social media is only a big resonance chamber for the $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY that cry louder (and I am sure that you would understand why if you were not blinded by hate for tech companies) and they are getting more credit than they deserve.
  
  To make you understand a little better (I hope) look at all the “go woke, go broke” rethoric. It is obvious

  Probably better than to discuss with you about this.
