Fair. It's certainly an issue that someone like Musk could weaponize Twitter.

Being active on Lemmy, not this one incidence in particular. This is one example showing that the spread of misinformation does not require any sinister force pulling strings.

I have an interest in internet regulation and so read various takes. The spread of mis- and disinformation is a frequent complaint about social media. Often, "The Algorithm" is blamed, rather than human nature. The role of influencers and traditional media tends to be ignored.

Gibt echt keinen Grund anzunehmen das Russland irgendwas damit zu tun hatte. Oder sind die Nutzer hier, die voll drauf eingestiegen sind, etwa alle Russen-Bots?

Dabei ist das ja noch einer der vorsichtigen Berichte.

The original news was posted twice. Right now these posts have a score of 80 and 456 upvotes.

Being active on Lemmy has pretty much convinced me that claims about some evil algorithm being responsible for all the ills of social media are baseless.

For scientists to share data and debate over the interpretation.

No.

Economics is hardly a prejudice. You're not making a lot of sense, anyway.

Surely pointing to China is a better way to make the point that liberal democracy is not the only road to riches. I simply want to encourage people to take a hard-nosed look at the tenets of liberal democracy. They are not a revealed truth. They prevailed for a reason.

@Mistral@lemmings.world You still there?

When copying is legal for profit, it's safe to assume that it's also legal without profit.

YouTube and similar platforms are major content distributors. Content owners would not be able to enforce their rights without automated surveillance, whether through Content ID or another system. Meanwhile, it is generally not economical for small creators, influencers, to litigate erroneous detections. So in many cases, Content ID is the ultimate arbiter of copyright.

When the likes of Taylor Swift or Donald Trump want to collect their licensing fees, they will use an automated system. And if some hapless citizen feels harassed by fakes and wants to make them harder to find, that will what be their only choice.

No surprise there.

People seem to have forgotten that liberal democracy prevailed not through moral arguments or appeals to conscience. It prevailed because it was stronger in war and in peace. It makes more and better weapons when it has to, and enables its citizens a better life otherwise.

Look how Hungary oppresses LGBT people. That costs a lot of money and eventually only means that members of that minority pay less taxes and contribute less to the economy.

Look to the US. The poorest states in the nation are those that were committed to racial oppression. The US would be even richer without that frivolous waste of human potential. And not just the victims but everyone.
