Yes, the recycling industry is rife with corruption and greed, compared to, say, oil and tech, who literally dump billions into lobbying. /s

Public discourse on how we should regulate social media is so misguided because not enough people understand the inner workings of these algorithms. The government needs to regulate, or straight up ban, personalization algorithms in social media. These algorithms are constantly A/B testing and going with the results that drive more engagement from the user. Monetizing outrage is exploiting a vulnerability of human nature for profit. No different than the opioid crisis.

Seriously? A Chinese government-controlled company proven to farm your data?

Why do you people always fail to articulate anything of substance?

Conservative nutjobs are flocking to it because they believe they're being censored on Google. But hey, I like DuckDuckGo, so all the more power to em.

You people and your cognitive dissonance. Lol

Yes, because it's this easy. You've figured out a solution to every nuanced problem this presents.

I couldn't support UBI nor could I say it would fail because no country has adopted it. Small experiments here or there, but not substantial enough to glean any kind of conclusion. Lately because of pandemic relief (namely in unemployment benefits, not the stimulus checks) I've noticed that there is a huge supply of jobs but not enough demand. Basically, people who have been reaping the benefits of unemployment are straight up not looking for jobs. They'll wait until it runs out first before looking. With that said, the concern with UBI was that "what if someone is just content being given a living wage and never looks for a job" has become a large glint on my radar. It's quite evident that an even larger part of society would do this. Guaranteed income does not seem to make the issue any better.

This is just grand-standing by DeSantis, who will likely be the presidential candidate in 2024. He's pandering by this move, nothing more. Republicans are unfortunately too dumb to connect the dots though.

Ah, Slashdot commenters, you never fail to entertain me with your idiotic and off-base assessment of where the corruption lies. You supported Trump for the past 4 years, you have no room to talk.

As someone who would tune and watch for Nintendo events but didn't really care for XBox and Playstation, I stopped caring when Nintendo just issued virtual Directs instead. Nintendo went virtual before everyone else and people stopped caring. I imagine it will be similar for the other platforms.

I certainly agree that we need to have a hard conversation on how social media moderates discussion and where we want to draw the line, but how long is it going to take you dummies to realize this isn't a first amendment issue?

That's just it. It's not. There is one side that is very blatantly clinging to fringe media outlets and "personalizing" their news experience around a certain narrative. Before, we at least were all on the same page and could argue policy. This last election cycle we were arguing reality. That's like saying censorship is in the eye of the beholder.
