Honestly we should probably regulate these algorithms in general. People like Andrew Tate are a problem, but not the only problem.
My mother went down a conspiracy rabbit hole and never came back out again. You’d be surprised how short the pipeline from gardening, to arts and crafts, to crunchiness, to antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, new world orders, and all that bs is.
There's lots of women that have been misled into transphobia out of concern for their rights. I know a few people this happened to and now they're full on TERFs.
It's like these algorithms radicalise people.
It’s not like they radicalize them, they are 100% designed to make them angry and radicalize them because it drives more and more clicks.
