He has been doing that since almost a year. The "For you" page would be filled with content you don't like, and clicking "not interested" doesn't help. The only solution I found was to mute the accounts that were showing up there that I didn't like. This was a major factor that led me to leave X / Twitter
Are there books recounting the history of editorial positions put forth by these platforms? I really had no idea where google stood on political issues in the 2000s. I remember thinking they were quite pro-free speech sometimes callously so through that decade. I do remember them putting forth issues on gay marriage when it was a live political issue, though.
Sure, I meant it also mentioning Google. There's a reason why countries are blocking youtube and other USA based social media: they stopped being free speech platforms if they ever truly were, and turned into a just another propaganda delivery channel, where predefined narratives are pushed to the top of every list, depending on your country and what USA government wants to promote there.
But for some reason, it was okay the other way around a few years ago?
I realize that in this epoch we are living in the only rule is that money and power gives you the right to do as you please. This may be old school but I think that values, honesty and ethics matter too and should guide our behaviors in life and in business. Kudos to the Guardian for taking a stand even if it costs them a few dollars.
