Brilliant input, Tucker. But likely it's too late already.
Even if the slowpokes in congress were to attempt something effective to stem the conglomerate takeover of global power, which they won't, the AI capacity is too great.
Facebook, Google and Twitter would pay lip service to the intervention and simultaneously increase their level of clandestne manipulations.
I can detect this already here on YT, wich is probably no more than a big tech sandbox. Google is constantly fiddling with any dials imaginable. Let me give a few examples.
1. The AI now reads our comments, not just to block nefarious content, but to create profiles of preferences
2. Little things like recommendations are constantly being tweaked, again not to help users and not just content, but scope, association and presentation. They dial up and down on frequency of suggestions and scope.
3. They remove user-friendly facilities (and we don't even know if these present differently to different groups of users) such as the ability to click on a response to a comment and go directly to the response. We must sift through hundreds of comments to respond, which makes threads much shorter, of course.
4. Years ago they muted the dislike-button, but kept it anyway. Ever wondered why? The dislike button would've curbed the crassness of language and given us all a clearer picture of trends in taste and habits. So they reserved this information for themselves.
5. Swamping the home page with suggestions is the latest onslaught, going so far as to repeat the same recommendations three times, creating a new section for each recommendation and repeating recommendations on things we've already watched. This a a notch up from recommending videos already placed on the View Later list or videos from channels where we already get notifications, because we're subscribed with the bell on.
The effect? Keeping abreast of your communications and subscription gets more time-consuming and users becomes less likely to discover if some "controversial" material is buried, taken down or otherwise suppressed...
