#JonathanCook | Billionaires dangle #FreeSpeech like a bauble. We gawp like open-mouthed babes

" #Zuckerberg must now recalibrate his #algorithms to keep the #Trump team happy, and not stray too far from the 'free speech' mantra of fellow billionaire and social media mogul Elon #Musk. Zuckerberg must ensure his own platforms don’t end up getting treated like a US equivalent of #Tiktok, under risk of a ban for supposedly posing a 'national security' threat."

"EFF has been sounding the alarm on algorithmic decision making (ADM) technologies for years. ADMs use data and predefined rules or models to make or support decisions, often with minimal human involvement, and in 2024, the topic has been more active than ever before, with landlords, employers, regulators, and police adopting new tools that have the potential to impact both personal freedom and access to necessities like medicine and housing.

This year, we wrote detailed reports and comments to US and international governments explaining that ADM poses a high risk of harming human rights, especially with regard to issues of fairness and due process. Machine learning algorithms that enable ADM in complex contexts attempt to reproduce the patterns they discern in an existing dataset. If you train it on a biased dataset, such as records of whom the police have arrested or who historically gets approved for health coverage, then you are creating a technology to automate systemic, historical injustice. And because these technologies don’t (and typically can’t) explain their reasoning, challenging their outputs is very difficult."

“A parliamentary committee examining the impact of #SocialMedia on #Australian society has recommended users be given the power to alter, reset or turn off #algorithms, as well as be provided with greater #privacy protections but has stopped short of recommending a #ban on under-16s accessing social media.”

“#X is a #toxic #media platform and […] its owner Elon #Musk has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse”

“we can do this because our business model does not rely on #viral content tailored to the whims of the #social media giants’ #algorithms
↳Yes. Fake news, polarization, and controversial content are largely the results of the #ad and #privacy harvesting #business model

The #IDF published a map dividing the Gaza Strip into 2300 segments as part of an advanced displacement plan in a new phase of its genocide ..

Gazans were asked t provide their 'block number' so tht they can be directed to new blocks ..

#AI #algorithms based on data from unmanned drones are orchestrating this never -ending tragedy .. #Israel #Gaza
