It's old news that fascism is on the rise but I can't be the only one that is suspecting there's a deliberate push by social media companies at this point? Twitter might be obvious but I'm also seeing more and more things on places like youtube getting tons of views that wouldn't have been allowed to stay up a couple years ago, picrel for example. Instagram reels being full of nazi content and its comment sections being bombarded with racism is something that's become infamous but that seemed to have happened almost overnight.
>>2555799And China the big rich AES state isn't doing anything about it
>>2554839 >>2555799I can understand why big business and the media would want to drive disgruntled white men to the right and coax a fascist backlash, but I dunno why academics and activists were so eager to help. I guess they thought it would never rebound on them.
I'm pretty sure YouTube was caught doing it long before twitter.
The ruling class is playing both sides. Theyre using the algorithm to spread both far right and far left in an attempt to create a civil war in which of course, the centrist ruling class will crush both sides and regain legitmacy.
It's all part of big tech's push to replace governments, no doubt they prefer the shock content to be fascist rather than communist, but the big take away is supposed to be
>my my, I didn't realise *this* was such a common feeling, the libertarians are right that we're overly censored to have missed this
and thus big tech leaders capitalise on their own dog whistle to now claim historic censorship was always against their personal values, the gubbermint forced them to do it, they feel just AWFUL to have participated in the cover up of oh so many social issues and now they're fighting back and letting the masses speak.
They're angling to replace the state with their own products.

>>2555799Silicon Valley is full of right-libertarians which are just Nazis who smoke weed.
They've been like this for decades, only difference is that now they don't have to hide it anymore. There's a deliberate push for normalization. They are gambling that Trump is establishing new norms and there will never be any blowback.
>>2555882They're not scared of Trump, they agree with him uncritically in most respects. Only thing they don't like is the tariffs. For the Silicon Valley/private equity vampires JD Vance would be the perfect president because he would do everything Trump is doing but dump the tariffs. Tariffs are a uniquely Trump quirk and not a core element of the larger right-wing project, he's been obsessed with them for his entire life.
AI moderation is fundamentally retarded but is still programmed to keep shit like this down given enough time and reports. Flightfromsyracuse's anti-Indian video was taken down in a week because everyone in Mumbai saw it and took it down in anger, I think the poop festival vlog did too. The problem is that YouTube AI mods are retards that flag simple basic words but still cannot take down propaganda in time before it reaches 100k views.

Didn't Intagram reels have a full day of gore or something?
This is just what happens when new untested "AI code" is added in. I wouldn't worry about it.
Dear mods please add Super Saging to /leftypol/ already threads like these don't require the catalog space. This barely even belongs on /isg/
