The Notre Dame Cathedral fire was one of the first major tests of social media companies’ nascent programmes aimed at fighting misinformation in real time – and critics say they failed.
Counter this: …
Being silenced by the algorithm of a higher power is a fantastic way of validating these claims to the people that make them and pushing them into radicalisation. Counter their conspiracies with arguments of your own.
You do realise that 'accident' is also a conspiracy theory (a rather dull one) until the investigation has been completed?
People are allowed to think things and talk to each other Guardian, and I would be carefull about trying to censor fake news if I were you, seems like it might be easily used against you.
Everything's just theories at the moment, with varying degrees of probability. As for the algorithms..they are not nuanced editorial control, it's hard to call it a failure when the technology did as it was technically supposed to during a major press frenzy, unfortunate, yes.
'Critics upset that algorithm failed to censor opinions they don't like' Different headline, same message.
Oh look - The Guardian - screaming for censorship - surprise! Surprise!
We know what happened. You can lie about it all you want.
HONK HONK
'We couldn't brainwash them quick enough'
'SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS FAIL TO COMPLETELY CONTROL PUBLIC OPINION DURING A GLOBAL NEWS EVENT'
it literally just fucking happened
Freedom of speech
They also failed to counter the racists saying it was a good thing and laughing, in fact, they got thousands of likes and went viral.
Are the French prosecutors apolitical? Are they unbiased? French generals have had their careers terminated for having publicly communicated politically inconvenient facts. As for the prosecutors, they're frequently used by the governments as persecutors of political adversaries.
The fact that certain Islamists were applauding the fire is not a conspiracy. Anyone can go and look at the links. And the claim that this was an accident before the investigation is complete is just as much conjecture as the idea that it was arson. Very predictable article.
I would like to blame Trump but we all know that up until yesterday, the only thing Trump knew about Notre Dame, was they wore gold helmets... 'I like Gold things'
There's no need for media platforms to counter anything. People are FREE to talk about whatever they want. Not USSR yet, comrade. Only conspiracy theory that costed 500,000 lives was the imaginary weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And it had NOTHING TO DO WITH SOCIAL MEDIA.
Everyone knows it was aliens, or Elvis...
Censorship is a bad thing. It should fail, like all those who support it.
Quelle surprise
Atleast that iconic circle is still looking good, just now looks like a church in a busy city covered in pollution lol
That's nothing compering not countering the biggest conspiracy 'Trump russian collusion'
Thats it! 😆 Keep telling people their conspiracy theorists for asking questions... hopefully that will wake up a load of new people to the media trickery that's being pulled on everyone.
Because they aren't conspiracies they are actually possibilities.
REEEEEEEE more censorship!!!!!
