Since this seems to be some inroads of progress I’m putting it here. Though, since it concentrates the hard-liners, it can probably go either way. Time will tell…

Fuckin’ a. Also… not before now? Leopold’s exposure was a huge scandal at the time. I guess they needed an icon of strength the fascists wouldn’t trample. Or that was the effect of the trampling.

It’s not the best news we could get, but at least it’s an experiment in something we have to do. For example of future development, if recent crafting of or use of nukes has taken place, everyone’s character is sick and gameplay suffers. With the possibility of random terminal diagnosis. But Konami isn’t going that direction.

I’m not sure where to file this mess.

The group are accused of spreading fake news against judges.

However, the social media giant said the measure was a threat to freedom of speech, and said it would appeal against the order.

Its platform has been used to call for a military coup to shut down Congress and the Supreme Court.

Brasil, WTF?

Hrmph… I really don’t buy the idea that “big tech companies controlling our newsfeeds” is the root cause.

What happens on social media is more a symptom. People like to feel like they’re in a social group, and with like-minded people, and newsfeed algorithms are good at giving suggestions for that. But that’s not happening in a vacuum. Those groups of conspiracy theorists generally aren’t generating their own self-sustaining feed of theories. They’re sharing and expanding on things they get from elsewhere, from “trustworthy” people who are taking advantage of their worldview.

Yes, social media can do a lot more to dampen the feedback loop… but nothing social media does is ever going to solve the actual problem.
