The ideas people are exposed to can shape their own ideas. That’s how ideas work.

what happens when the algorithms decide which ideas you see
genocide in this case
I think it's a fine line between "people shouldn't be exposed to bad ideas" and "people shouldn't be exposed to good ideas"
Leaders calling for racial genocide isn't really at that "fine end". Meta should be able to distinguish between that and "corporations should pay less taxes".
should your ISP be able to distinguish between these? Should WhatsApp or your encrypted messengers? Should your mobile phone providers?
My ISP should not be promoting posts advocating for genocide at me, absolutely yes!!
