Facebook did not have an over-censorship problem. Facebook main problem was that its algorithms promote hate speech and disinformation, lately with the addition of inauthentic content. Fighting that through fact-checking is always going to be an uphill battle.

This is the reason I believe that content algorithms have no place in social media and that user profiling should be banned. Spreading misinformation and hate speech is a lot harder without the amplification algorithms.

I agree, people just share content. A game changer will be more people learn critical thinking and apply, I guess this is going to be easier said than done under Trump.

Algorithms and posts that are AI generated are going to really hamper these efforts.

I will share a link to Critical Thinking Web, as it seems appropriate to do so.
