Fake news websites, misinformation and conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and democracy is failing. This is caused by big tech AIs focused on gaining engagement. So it is right for me that, in theory, the same tech companies try to stop this big mess. But personally and practically I don’t think this purpose is achievable without tossing the whole algorithms behind the engagement thing, and milder counter reactions like this will cause in long term only more drama and nothing useful....
