If I were in a deciding position at Twitter I would find it extremely challenging to handle war propaganda, to be honest. I’m quite torn here. Using the Nazi trope is clearly playing the west, where it has been effectively tried, tested and abused in past and present. As one example of many, during the peaceful revolution the same accusation has been used by the GDR to discredit the Monday demonstrations. While it’s true that there were some neonazis walking, it was a tiny percentage. A war comes with propaganda and is probably the most difficult moment for social media tech. I will be curious whether someone can come up with an intelligent, rational solution that learns from the mistakes made in history - and values and represents the principles of human rights the west defines itself by. A tech solution could be detecting polarized, one-sided speech and automatically presenting information orthogonal to it. Could also help against other kinds of rabbit holes and increase frontal lobe usage in people. |
