That’s just freaking bullshit!!! 👆

How so?

I thought combatting misinformation was good

I think your the first person I know to hear that and not be pleased

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS It is. However, who decides what is misinformation and what isn’t. Also, it is a scheme to quash and censor members.

God that's ridiculous

I mean without getting argumentive, there is usually fact and fiction. Banning fiction seems to be a good idea.

Also I don't really know anyone who still uses Facebook outside people my mums age

They've lost all trust anyway

True that, nat

But if you don't take it into your own hands you have to trust your audience knows how to sepreate fact from fiction

Some things are subjective but if you’re doing things like fudging numbers it’s not really a question of who decides what’s fact

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS If you’ll notice, they aren’t targeting the stories...they are targeting the members.

Seems like they’re doing both

Who spread the stories

Fake news pages

If you don’t bother looking into things before you share it, it’s not unreasonable for them to record that imo

Before long, all social media platforms will be monitoring and rating us. Including discord.

Eh who's keeping track
FB can easily give you more scores if you post something that they agree with

I think gwench just watched that black mirror episode 😂

I'm sure they'd be incredibly transparent with the process just to try and get their numbers back up

@xXPuppyLoverXx Black mirror?

Why should you be given scores on what you post

That's just dickish

I feel like this is going to be same conversation from last night haha

We all see how YouTube censorship is going :^)

It’s a show that explores the really bad things you get from fancy technology, there’s an episode called “nose dive” that’s exactly what you described

It's a really good show

On Netflix

Their algorithms so fucked up you get your video taken out if you mention something controversial

Meh I couldn’t get into it

I agree we can't leave it to alogrithims however if we leave it to people they I'd a high rate of burnout as they manually have to see terrible stuff that gets uploaded it's a lose lose @Satan

Machines are about as impartial as you get, I can’t think of a better way tbh

Well there has to be something done if you want to make it a safe space

If not then don't censor

Except explicit shit like child porn or snuff

@xXPuppyLoverXx I don't think they are impartial, they can be trained and baised

@xXPuppyLoverXx Machines are as impartial as the people that design them.

I agree with puppy but I mean it's faulty

Well yeah it gets a tad more complex once you bring machine learning into the picture

@Satan yeah but who goes through the terrible stuff a human who will need therapy or a robot that wont
