Time to follow Europe’s lead on social media regulation

How did harmful content and misinformation online get so bad — after so much time, money, and scores of people trying to limit the spread of inaccurate, violent, obscene, and harmful content?

For starters, the problem is much bigger than it used to be, and human-driven efforts cannot keep up. Even with tens of thousands tackling the problem (Meta’s Trust & Safety team has swelled to an army of more than 40,000) the sheer amount of digital content is too overwhelming. Moderating this content by human review is not only time-consuming, ineffective, and error-prone, it also can endanger the mental health of the moderators who must sift through objectionable content day in and day out.

“Moderating this content by human review is not only time-consuming, ineffective, and error-prone, it also can endanger the mental health of the moderators who must sift through objectionable content day in and day out.”

Well, I guess you should stop trying to do it and go back to letting people exercise freedom of speech then.

Ban social media companies to Europe.

Social media worked in the third Reich, didn’t it?

[mass55th]

These morons who want to turn the U.S. into Europe, need to be rounded up, and shipped there in the cargo hold of a leaky tanker.

ALSO from The Hill:

“Fewer than half of Americans can name all three branches of government, survey finds”

Doesn’t that mean, then, that they’re MISINFORMED?
