@tristanharris Jon Stewart was one of the first to use the media to bran wash the youth. His hypocrisy never fail to amaze me me.

@tristanharris But it’s not always bad. I’d gladly spend hours scrolling X if the suggested content helps me learn things. I learn a lot here that I can’t find anywhere else. Just need to cut out as much noise as possible.

Robert Moody1 year ago

@tristanharris That's why on X you should stick to the Following page and not the For You page. You will avoid the algorithm that way.

Dank Koala1 year ago

@tristanharris Eschew "For You"! "Following" FTW!

Instead of doing the right thing, X is fighting for their right to show alleged terrorist content. There’s no place in social media for harmful and violent content and social media companies have a social responsibility.

Personally I think children shouldn’t be allowed social media … the indoctrination from the left is making our children mentally ill Children are being exposed to harmful content within minutes of creating social media account, a new experiment has revealed. Natalie Cassidy was shown first-hand how children are exposed to inappropriate social media content. She is backing a social media ban for under 16s.

I am fighting hard for real and effective regulation of Big-Tech’s social media platforms and the harms that they can cause. We need a systems based approach that holds the Tech Giants accountable for the algorithms that drive their platforms, expose people to harmful content, disseminate misinformation, and profit from outrage and conflict. The government’s planned 16 year-old age ban for social media platforms doesn’t do any of that. It’s why I provided my own Private Members’ Bill to parliament to deal with Big-Tech’s algorithms. And it’s why I couldn’t support Labor’s Social Media legislation as it stands.

RFK Jr. says social media algorithms are making Americans hate each other. And we need to come together before it’s too late. “We’re very polarized right now in this country, but there’s always been polarization in America.” “It’s amplified today by social media because the algorithms profit on it.” “The algorithms program us toward tribalism and partisanship.” “I think we’ve got to figure out ways to come together as Americans.” “These algorithms are so powerful and so domineering that it may be existential for our country.”

EXPOSED: 🚨SUPPORT FOR KAMALA HARRIS ON TikTok US AND INSTAGRAM IS FAKE AND PAID FOR🚨 The social media support for Kamala Harris is paid for astroturfing. Kamala Harris’s Presidential campaign appears to be paying for social media influencers to post videos and posts in support of her, which is further evidence that her online social media support is fake and paid for. I have discovered that a company by the name of LAUNCH VIRAL is running advertisements for social media influencers who are interested in a “PAID POST OPPORTUNITY” to get paid to post in support of Kamala Harris’s Presidential campaign. I screen recorded the advertisement below which is offering $150 CASH, plus a paid incentive per post… The ad says: WE'RE ASKING YOU TO... 1. EXPERIENCE • Encourage your fans to share, like, and follow Kamala 2. CREATE Post one of more memes ONLY using our pre-approved assets Feel free to add your own spin or commentary on your TikTok - IG, too, would be awesome 3. POST Post your content on TikTok, Instagram or both. Mention: Kamala Harris Hashtags: #kamalaharris #harris2024 The media wants people to falsely believe that the surge of support for Kamala Harris on Tik Tok and other social media sites by GenZ is organic, but as I just exposed, it’s being paid for via social media influencer agencies like Launch Viral. Kamala Harris is so unlikable, her campaign @KamalaHQ literally has to pay influencers to create the illusion and delusion that young people support her.

Q: "Does the organized Jewish community need a social media strategy?" American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutch: "[Social media] is driven by algorithms … and the way to address those algorithms is to deal directly with the social media companies—which is what we do." "And we can point to successes with Meta and with TikTok and with others in working to ensure that anti-Semitic material and anti-Semitic material that feeds into algorithms is taken down from their sites."
