Did it say in @doctorow’s piece that you SHOULD have a right to publish whatever you want on Youtube? I didn’t read that. I read a piece arguing that we should be very, very careful of what we wish for when demanding regulation (especially government regulation) of speech. I usually think Cory goes too far in a lot of his political rants, but I’m pretty on board with this one.
Facebook already DOES hire thousands of people to vet content. And they do almost as shitty a job as the algorithms, but with the added bonus of inflicting mental illness on thousands of humans who are forced to sit at a computer all day staring at the most horrid content imaginable.
